First Day of Filming
The images below show some of the shot types we were trying to achieve when filming on our first day. Due to Emily's costume not arriving on time we had to push back our first day of filming by a week. This meant that our first day of filming had to take place of the 31st of January. We had planned to film a lot more shots than we did but there were some complications. Due to the actress playing the Queen of Hearts falling ill we were only able to film the opening scene of our music video. There were all of the scenes that just involve Alice. During these shot Alice starts to explore the forest. With these shots filmed we will use techniques such as reversed and slow motion. Overall our first day of filming was successful, though weather conditions made filming uncomfortable due to the harsh winds and cold, but the group overall felt happy to have enough takes on each shot of the opening scene to begin to edit and put together a plan for the rest of the music video after now spending time on the location.

Second Day of Filming
The Second shoot for the music video was later than planned due to members of our group having University Interviews. This was a big problem because the first shoot was also shot late. This meant that we were now hugely behind schedule with the development of our music video. In the second shoot our group focused on filming the introduction of the Rabbit as he travels through the Forrest with the use of stop motion and meets Alice. Overall the filming was hugely useful as we changed the costume of the Rabbit by using face paint, giving a darker effect to the Music Video. We did however have problems with consistency due to Alice loosing her white socks, this mean shot types were very hard to use as we had to film shots above the knee making the over Video feel disjointed. Therefore some of the footage filmed could not be counted.
Third Day of Filming
The final shoot of the Music video was hugely successful, despite the lead role being unavailable to shoot, changes were made to adapt the storyline, but also keeping in theme of Alice in Wonderland and the Surrealist edge we wanted to bring to it. To accomplish this we incorporated the use of a Barbie doll to connotate that Alice had shrunk and also for a surrealist edge had the Mad Hatter pull Alice's head from her body. We then used techniques such as stop motion so that a variety of techniques were used and editing to the beat would be much easier. Overall the final shoot was very successful despite minor set backs.
