We did this audience feedback to show what kind of people our music video would appeal to. We chose to interview 3 males because we wanted a male perspective to our idea because if boys like music videos it subverts the stereotypes because our music video is mainly focused towards teenage and young women because it is romantic. We have also added information about the three boys such as their favourite kind of music and their age. This shows their interests and what kind of people are watching my music video.

Top Tips.
- Hold tightly onto the camera and find the record button
- Elbows tucked in tight for camera stability
-Make sure shots are always practiced before you film
- Someone behind you holding you for support and stability
- Direct the actors and make sure they know there marks in order to save film, eg. markings on the floor, learn the song well
- Always film more footage than you need as you can always edit and cut away film
- Count down- "filming in 5,4,3,2,1.."
- Use sentences like "Quiet on set" or "Camera Rolling"
- "Camera Turning 3,2,1"
-ALWAYS film more footage than needed to help editing

Equipment
- Video Camera
- Filming/Transport to Location Car
- Guitar
- Natural lighting
- Computer-editing
Our film is quite simple and doesn't need a lot of equipment so we only really need a camera, a car for tracking shots and an acoustic guitar for the chorus'. All of these things are easy to get for us so this wont be a problem.

Risk Assessment
After visiting shot locations for the video, I assessed potential hazards and risks that could occur when filming.
Beach- With the stony/ uneven surface at Sidmouth beach, it could be hard to keep balance and may result in an actor falling over or something similar. To avoid this the actors will be briefed on making sure they stay in control of their actions and to make sure they are aware of what they are doing.
Roundball Hill- With Autumn / winter approaching, it is likely to be wet or damp on the hill which could again result in slips and falls from the actors. To avoid this the actors will again be briefed on exactly what they are to do and make sure they behave sensibly. Also if it is rather slippery, safer and more appropriate footwear will be used for extra grip.
Filming car- As a car will be used as a way of shooting tracking shots ect, there is always an element of risk as accidents could occur. To ensure this does not happen the driver will be told to drive slowly, safely and responsibly.
West Hill woods- Much like the hill and the beach, there is a possibility of the actors tripping over, with things like tree roots and uneven ground. To make it as safe as possible, we will walk slowly, carefully and once again brief the actors and make sure they know what the possible risks are and that they behave responsibly. Also we will make sure when filming the path the actors will be taking is clear of things such as fallen branches.

Storyboard
This is our Story board that we will be using as a template of shots for our film. this is just the rough copy and we will be developing this as we go along. From this we can create our shot list so we know which shots to shoot during the filming process of our film.
