When we decided on our track, Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation, it had already been released as a single. Because we didn't want to get into any copyright infringement trouble, we emailed the band to ask permission.
We haven't yet had a response, so we went ahead with our music video.
When we uploaded the video to YouTube, we received an email saying that although we had used products owned by Universal, we didn't have to do anything.

Album Art - Inside Cover Graphics
I'm officially ill from stress and will probably collapse at some point within the next couple of days. Fingers crossed it won't be before the deadline.

MySpace
We've made the MySpace and we've also a Twitter account for The Cold Ones. Progress :) Haven't really done anything to it yet seeing as we're probably not going to actually use this name, but it's good to actually have a MySpace done and experiment with what we can do a bit...

Project Progress
We really need to start thinking more about the band website and the album cover; I suggest a BRAINSTORM SESH to that effect, yeah, YEAH!
Also, as we had to cut the song down from about 5 minutes (we've got it to about 3.35), I thought it would be a good idea to do another lyrics breakdown with all the timecodes ammended, as well as some of the lyrics we've now removed so I've done that... Hopefully it'll make things a bit easier :)

REAL TUNNEL SHOOT NUMBER TWO
Selina bringing out the shot list! 
"I can put my whole fist in my mouth... wanna see?" 
Trying to get to Diagon Alley...
EYES ON FIRE. YEAH.
Loving the temperature.
(Trying to be) keeping warm with tealights...
Selina is an old woman.
Bhavika is thinking about me running in slo-mo...
Mary is perturbed.
Mia is crazy. 
Mmm, lovely tunnel walls... if I could use one word to describe them, it would definitely be clean. (Sarcasm, btw.)

Shoots
We have had a busy week of shooting and have had a grand total of three this week. We had one shoot at the tunnel in New Southgate on Tuesday, on at Grovelands Park on Thursday and one at Trent Park on Friday. We also met up to do some planning on Monday at Mia's house.
We managed to shoot the fire-spinning at Grovelands on Thursday, which went really well and looked cool on camera.
But we will probably have to reshoot a the tunnel due to lighting issues. This was mainly because we couldn't get hold of the paglights but we managed to get them to our shoot on Friday.
Another problem was that we found it went dark really quickly so we will have to meet up earlier like we did on Friday for any reshoots.
Overall they were quite successful as we have footage we can use, especially from Trent Park, I think although we will find out how all the footage looks on Monday.

GOOOOOD NEWS!
Matt got back to me! He says he should be able to make it, and has given me contact details - I'll email them on to all of you so we can add them to the call sheet. We just need to let him know what times we're shooting and where to go, and what to wear etc.
It might be quite misty tomorrow - http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/8 - it's supposed to be cloudy tomorrow, and sunny intervals on Friday.
Sunrise is at 06:49 tomorrow, and max temp. about 19°C. Sunrise is at 06:51 on Friday, and max temp. is 19°C again. So question is whether we want to film early in the morning or not. Thoughts?

The Shoot
So, we had our first proper shoot yesterday, in the tunnel location. It got pretty cold and there were some minor injuries, but other than that I think it went pretty well!
It took a while to get all the makeup done and prepare each setup, as well as for me to get into it properly (sorry guys!) so I think it was good we got there for 3.
In the end, we didn't do any shots of her actually smashing the mirror, mainly because we thought we'd be able to get the mirror out of the frame, but when we tried it broke a bit anyway. However, it looked good already broken, distorting the image a bit and adding to the confusion/lost thing; we'll see when it comes back to looking at the rushes properly.
We did shots of the girl both with normal makeup and with distressed makeup, lipsyncing through the whole song from different angles and movements etc. as we'd planned, as well as shots of the lead masked-figure walking down the tunnel and doing static poses in various places down the tunnel, so we can cut them together without showing her actually moving (or maybe with the moving bits sped up a bit?). Basically we have quite a lot of footage to experiment and play around with, so hopefully our shoots on Thursday and Friday will go just as well, if not better!
