Drum Kit SOLUTION!

This is genius (or at least close to). After pondering on the annoying idea that we cannot use the drum kit outside and therefore hindering our already late schedule... it occurred that we should bring the location inside, rather than take the drum kit outside! And so, we are planning to use a green screen! This plan is specifically for filming the shots of the drummer Ben and the drum kit. It is essential that we have footage of the drum kit as "Just A Day" is of the rock genre, where drumming is a prominent feature and is often shown in music videos through extreme close ups (usually with the drummer hitting the symbol, in sync with the music, or during a moment in the song with no singing). We talked to the media technician, Ian Johnson who told us we do have the facilities to film a green screen (extension cords, lighting, green screen and frame), all we had to do was organise the people and book a hall for filming after school. Thankfully, this fits into our schedules and Terminal Moraine's (Jemma has been keeping contact with Ben and I have been chatting to Alex's mum). We plan to film all the shots we need in one session on a Tuesday or Thursday after school.
