Preparations For Filming

I have researched the weather forecast for Saturday 15^th November, as this is the particular day I am shooting my music video. In order for my music video to have a range of elements and shot, I felt it was vital that I should film some of the scenes of my music video outside, so that my music video has a good sense of mise en scene. However there are complications with filming outside in open space, and there is one crucial element that is uncontrollable, the weather. Therefore I felt it was appropriate for me to in advance check the weather forecast to avoid any complications that could affect my filming.

According to the BBC weather, the sky will be partly cloudy and slow-moving scattered rain with some sunshine during mid-day, with variably normal temperatures of 10-11. This is the typical weather I suspected for the autumn/winter season that we are currently in. This particular over cast is very usually for me in my music video as it would contribute to the mise en scene that I am trying to portray within my music video. The video is meant to portray those who are less unfortunate, who don’t have life and wealth come easy to them unlike others within society, therefore I felt the dark grey clouds will help to reflect that across to my audience. The temperature of 10-11 degrees is a reasonable and safe environment for my actor to be outside, yes it will be slightly breezy with wind speed up to 7 mph, but yet still a confortable temperature to work in, without my actor getting ill from low temperature within the air. That particular day the sun sets at 4:10 which doesn’t affect my filming schedule as by 3 o’clock i will be moving locations and filming inside.
