Day 2 filming ideas

Having already completed the filming for the 3 verses in my video, it is now on to the task of filming the 3 choruses.
My initial idea was to have a group of people doing a 'funny dance' in order to add to the comical side of what is meant to be a humorous music video and not to be taken too seriously. When considering costumes, I originally just thought everyday clothing but then I had a brainwave of having people dress up in onesies or pyjamas to do the dances. I felt that this will add even more to the comedy value and will be a reflection of people first thing in a morning which is something I have tried to incorporate into my video as it is about crumpets and other breakfast items.

Preferably I would like to film in 3 different locations(a different one for each chorus). This was a troublesome task of where I could film doing silly dancing in onesies as it may be embarrassing for the people involved if I asked them to do it in a public place. I have therefore decided that one of the places I could film is the school canteen. This is a food based location to link with my lyrics and will spare the embarrassment of doing it in public with the whole world watching.

I am still looking for 2 other locations at this time to film the other 2 choruses.

My idea was to have 5 people doing the dances. With the 2 singers stood at the front closest to the camera with another 3 people spaced out in a row behind.
Here is an image of the formation I want to use:

I am also considering for the camera to rotate in one direction whilst the dancers move the opposite circulating the camera. For example, the camera rotate clockwise whilst the dancers, dance around the camera in an anti-clockwise motion. I am going to film this version then see how it looks. If it doesn't look suitable I will stick with the original formation.

Day 1 filming completion

Yesterday I completed the first day of filming for my music video. I was very limited to time so I took my time in making sure I got all the shots I needed for my 3 verses of the song firstly that involved both of my actors. I will do all the close up of all the miscellaneous objects such as microwaves, toasters, frosties and toast etc afterwards when it is not a necessity to have my actors present. This will not play any role in any continuity errors as there are only inanimate objects that I need to get shots of.

Having completed the first day of filming, I believe I have all the shots I need of the actors for the 3 verses. I am planning on doing the 3 chorus' at a later date as I plan to use a different locations for each chorus. I will plan on doing the same thing in each one but with a different backdrop.
