Our Trip Down to BRIGHTON

We all met at 10.30 at Woking Station to start our journey to our filming destination. The car journey only took about an hour and 20 minutes and finding Bobbys house was pretty easy with the help of Hollies iPhone and google maps. We found Bobbys house and he was very welcoming and friendly. He was eager to start filming and get in the zone. We all decided that the filming part of Bobby would take place in his room against his white wall. After moving his bed and removing posters and photos we had are basic scene ready. Bobby got changed into his outfit which was a plain smart white shirt and a un-done black tie. This gave him a relaxed jazzy look. Bobby gave us the choice whether we wanted him to use an electric guitar or a acoustic guitar in the music video. We decided it would be a better idea to go with the acoustic guitar as it would look better with the type of song of his and the research we have done about acoustic artists.

We started to film a nervous looking Bobby with the song track playing in the background,half way through the first take of filming he started to relaxed but we needed him to be totally ready and prepared so we could make the best of our filming. After a few more takes of zooming in and out of Bobby, he had to request having a beer to losen his voice and have a cigarette to steady his nerves. Once Bobby was back it was like he was a different person. However we did come across a small scare when a small yellow flashing tape sign started flashing on the screen of the HDV camera. Hollie tried her best to rewind the tape to find extra tape but it wasnt looking good. We started to worry that we wernt going to get a finished result from our filming of Bobby. However James came to save the day and was able to fix the camera tape by working over pervious old tape last years class pupils had left. With that we were all relieved that we could further experiment with the filming. Bobby wanted to do re-takes and try different motions of filming, such as only focusing on the face,hands, without the guitar, from a side view and then finally him playing the guitar. By late afternoon we were satisfied with what we had achieved and called it a day.

We said our thanks to Bobby for letting us film him and film in his house and said to him we will keep him up dated about the filming and even mentioned the 'Woscars' to him saying it would be a good idea for him to maybe attend it. Now that the filming part of Bobby was complete we could now work around some basic artist work and fill in the filming gaps with more filming of different scenes and locations.
