On Friday 12th October, we booked all of our equipment that we needed from the media department:
- Camera
- Tri-pod
- Filter/Reflector
- 2 high-power torches
we decided that we were film our music video in a forest in Wicken were our group member Adam Stronge lives. Another reason we decided to film in Wicken is because it has lots of woodland areas where we could film our slenderman scenes.
Adam Woods and Jake arrived earlier to shoot than expected because they managed to get an earlier train from Cambridge to Ely for their lift to Wicken. Yasz arrived at the shoot around 4pm which is when we left the house to start filming.
With permission from the farmer Gary Savile, we were allowed to film our music video in a small woodland area near his field. One of the main obstacles we had to endure was to move all the music equipment from the house to the forest. Our drummer was able to move the equipment in his car from the house to the edge of the field. it was a 6 minute walk from the car to wooded area so we had to carry the guitars, camera equipment and the drum kit across a muddy field.
It took about 20 minutes to set up the camera and drumkit together to start filming. we first did a long shot of the whole band so in the editing process we will have a shot to fall back on. we then started tio film a different camera angles of the individual band members for more variety of shots.
After we finished filming, we set ourself the task of taking pictures for our digipack.
We finished filming the performance before it started to get dark so we packed up the equipment and went back to the house to start writing the slender notes for our slender side of the music video. Yasz had to go home at 6pm after we filmed the band performance.
We then managed to fix up a Slenderman costume for Adam S. using a white t shirt for the face mask, a Soham Village College Blazer, school trousers, a white polo shirt and smart shoes. we then started walking around Wicken looking for suitable filming locations to film our Slender scenes such as a public pond, play park, old phone box, the parish hall, a cemetery and the woods where we filmed our band scenes. We started to film the slender scenes 8:30pm when it was dark so the footage would be faithful to the game. We then asked for help from our drummer Dan to help with the lighting for the cemetery scene.
