Because I was working to a close deadline, before getting the camera, I planned out where I would film each shot on my storyboard and then organised them so I knew what needed filmed and when. Once this was done I got a camera and began to collect my footage. I started by filming during the day, because I wanted my video to start in daytime and then go to night time. I filmed different close ups of the car, using a slow zoom in and out so that when it came to editing it I had the shot from different distances. I used the tripod when filming this part so that the shot was very still.
After I got this footage I stuck the camera to the dashboard of the car and drove round so that I could get a 1st person perspective of driving. I did this several times at different times of the day and night so when I put the footage together I had a lot of choices for the time of day. After I filmed this I filmed close ups of the car again but this time at night. I filmed the car then slowly zoomed in the light and then when I zoomed out the light was switched on. I then slowly walked around the car, filming it from different angles to see what effect it would have.
After I had finished filming the car I filmed a hand tapping to the rhythm of the song on the steering wheel and then the rev counter going up as if the car was accelerating. Once I felt I had enough footage of the car I filmed a close up of a boy's mouth singing along with the song so that I could include that and then it would follow the codes and conventions of music video's by including the artist or another person lip syncing to the song.
