Today was the day we were going to film Jess and Oliver's music video.
As we got closer to filming time, we all got up to go set up all of the lights, cameras and microphone. Luckily with it being Cameron, Taylah, Damian, Nick and I setting up, it was only 20 minutes.

Nick and I pulled the black backdrop down, because we thought it would look best with all of the lights on it. Then we set up the chairs and lights. We put two chairs in the centre, these being for Jess and Oliver. Then we had one light coming from behind so that there wouldn't be any harsh shadows, we also had one light coming from the other side at the front to light up both subject's faces, for this light we used a redhead.
The cameras were set up as so:
- Two cameras were set up on each side, to get two different angles of both Jess and Oliver
- One camera set up on a wide mid shot in the centre. This was the HD camera, because we found it would be better to use for the wide shots.

Overall, the filming went fairly well. We did have some difficulty getting the timing right with the track, but we managed to work it all out in the end.
