The first scene I shot was the Ice Cream scene, as i needed to film this before the ice cream melted. We found that the more ice cream we put in the cone the easier it was to melt. It was a rather messy scene to film, but I think and hope it went well.
We followed this section with the "Got so hot in the city..." line as Alisa needed the same outfit for that scene so we thought it would be easier to do all the sections in that outfit to start. We also filmed the change over bits of Alisa going of camera and on camera in the outfit so I can cut it and she comes on in a new outfit when I edit it.
Next we did the first verse, about the "second hand guitar". This section was a bit more difficult than anticipated, as although we wanted it to look 'homemade' we still wanted it to look like a guitar. I filmed quite a few different angles for this scene and when editing i will need to pick the most appropriate.
We next did all the different choruses, as there is a different outfit for each one. The acting in each one was slightly different due to what is going to be on the green screen. For example, Space, underwater, falling down etc.
We next did the 'part scene' as this is such a short section we had to make it as visually interesting as we could in the given time. I directed Alisa to dance, and decided that when editing I will speed it up and slow it down.
The final scene I filmed was the ending, where Alisa walks off and you see that it was all on green screen, so the framing is slightly obscure in order to create that amateur/homemade feel. I then just filmed about 20 seconds of the blank green screen that I can use for editing, and can fill in instrumental seconds as for each section I have her walking on and off so the blank screen can be put in between those sections.
