Just before the holidays when uploading all our footage we decided that we would use Final Cut to make our music video, however after several technical difficulties on Friday and today we've decided to go back to iMovie, because it's much more user friendly. Also, we have most of our footage saved on an iMovie project already, so it ill enable us to spend more time on the music video whereas we would have had less time to spend on it had we been using Final Cut because we were only accustomed the the basics of Final Cut. iMovie here we come!

Filming: Piano Scene Take 4?
In addition to what Nilufa said - Monday 20th December 2010 was the afternoon we spent our own time after school sorting out the hall and re-shooting the whole piano section, taking the feedback on board from our poll, we had Jessica's hair down and applied silver/grey make up.
This time as a group we decided to use 2 cameras for extra footage and for a more varied range of shots because we noticed we lacked in extra shots when we looked back at our other piano scenes.

Piano Scene - Take Four!
On Monday 20th December, after school, Tamanna, Shamima and I went down to the Great Hall (poor Sabina couldn't join us as she is still ill) - with permission to use the hall for a good amount of time without any disturbances!
We set the piano up with the lit candles, put the white net up which I had ironed that very morning since it was desperately in need of an ironing, and once Jessica arrived we did her hair and make up.
As stated on a previous blog post, we kept the hair down, natural curls and all; we clipped the frizzy parts down and added a kind of coiffe which looked good, with the glam-ish make up - no black eyeshadow at all! So we escaped the whole panda-eye look!
The filming went well, we got a variety of shots, especially the specific shot we wanted of Jessica lighting a match in the dark - the light illuminating her face worked really nicely because we got the exact effect we wanted. Below is a picture of Cheryl Cole with a lit match from her new music video The Flood, this surprisingly is the effect we were going for!

Hair DOWN!
In my last post I stated that after viewing the recent polls, the votes we gathered showed that the majority of viewers preferred 'hair up', but I have made a mistake because after viewing yesterday's poll I've discovered that the hair was voted to be down. So, we will keep the hair down!

Thames Barrier Filming Progress
According to our plans, we went to Thames Barrier Park as a group with our new storyboard on Tuesday 14th December 2010.
However we altered some clothing ideas such as Jessica wearing the pink top and so on... instead Jessica wore her checkered blue and red shirt which is very trendy and in 'style/fashion' therefore as a group we decided to leave Jessica the way she dressed as it fit in well with the idea and was suitable for our video.
In this shoot she wore, blue denims, tan boots, red and blue checkered shirt, brown leather jacket and a bronze necklace.
With the make up which Me and Nilufa did we stuck with the simple and subtle eye make up with clear glossy lips with the bronze and light brown cheeks. All this to give a natural look.
The hair was totally different to the rest of our styles we have done previously, therefore we chose to have her hair the way it was and did small alters such as using bobby pins to clip her fringes.
Despite it being a very cold weather we had some sort of sun which went really well with the riverside footage, which I as a individual member is very happy with.
From what we have filmed today, we are glad to get everything done in such short time. Now we just have to upload and see the actual footage and decide if its worth putting in our music video, which I'm sure it is :)

Thames Barrier Park
One of our key locations is Thames Barrier Park, and we're going there today to get some good scenery shots, and a bit more footgae of Jessica singing. We've been waiting for the right timing to go there, and today we have enough time to go, plus the weather forecast is looking good - http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/8?&showDay=A
We've also decided on the outfit for today's shooting; blue jeans, plain white t-shirt, a knitted pink cardigna and a pink scarf. We're considering the possibility of a jacket in some of the shots. The make up will be similar to the make up in the bedroom scene, so a lot of neutral tones,and pink cheeks.
Below are the storyboards we've drawn out for today's filming:

Also, following the votes, we are going to keep Jessica's hair up in a bun, but there will be some alterations to the make up; we're going to use less black on the eyes since it gives off a slightly panda eyed look, and instead will use more grey and silver.
