On Monday we went to PC World to get a new SD card as the previous one was faulty. We then went to Camden Road Station and recorded another base track on the main road. This turned out successful, however the new SD card also warned us of 'recording failure'. At this point we realised that it was possibly an issue with the camera so we were unable to continue filming that day. This was a disruption to our filming plans as we also wanted to film at Dilara's house in order to use the other days for blogging and re-shooting old scenes. We contacted the media staff and arranged a time for us to pick up a different camera. However we did manage to shoot some clips from camden before the camera stopped working.

We went to Wood Green car park and tried to reshoot a base track that we will be using at the beginning of our music video. The first shooting of this scene didn't go to plan because the lighting was too dark which looked unprofessional. When we tried to film it again, halfway through, the camera was repeatedly warning us of 'recording failure'. This meant that we had to buy a new SD card as the college was shut so we couldn't get a replacement. 

The photograph below is one of the main reasons that we decided to re shoot this particular scene as the lighting was too dark therefore you couldn't see the artist lip syncing the words properly. Also in this scene, it mainly consists of medium shots, which isn't effective as a music video should contain various shots to capture the artists expressions and feelings towards the audience.

Overall I am pleased with my progress grade of a C, however I feel that I could've done a lot better if I completed the blogs that were due. Therefore I'm going to make sure I am consistent with my blogs and make sure that they are completed at the due date. I will also make sure I finish all the tasks set to get a higher grade which I am aiming for.
