Shooting Day 1

Our costume for this performance scene; we wanted to have a bright outfit that would stand out from our location. We chose this outfit because it complimented our artist and made them look both glamorous but casual. This is what we aim to achieve throughout the music video as we want a relatable artist and star image.

Hair and Makeup- Shooting Day 1

Today we filmed one of the performance scenes. Here you can see Sophie in charge of hair and makeup for the performance. We wanted to have a dramatic and bright costume and makeup. This included false lashes and red lipstick as well as bright leggings. Our iconic image throughout the music video is the use of the bright red lipstick. We wish to maintain this throughout the music video as it will remain a vital part of our star's image.

Green Screen Test Shooting

We began a test shooting for our green screen to make sure we would be able to film this without any problems and to make sure this would work well. Testing our green screen we came across some difficulties , for example we noticed the lights made shadows which later on would make it difficult to edit successfully . We also noticed it was hard to keep the camera still because of our birds eye view shot and we thought this would make it look unprofessional .

Starting filming

We have currently started shooting for our music video , we have focused on shooting individual shots of our main actress 'Erna'. When doing this we have came across a few problems but have been able to overcome this , for example , when shooting a tracking shot down the street and changing the camera shots the mise en scene changes as different people walk in the shot each time , to overcome this we made sure we had no people walking through the shots as well as shooting the scenes at once. Another problem has been the weather but obviously this is something we cant change , yet when the weather changes dramatically e.g snow , we use our time for shooting inside shots and work on our blogs and artist portfolios.

Planning Meeting 3

Today we started planning our storyboards. We already had an idea of our shots we just had to organise the order and annotate the storyboard. We had already thought about our shots and written it in relation to the lyrics. Therefore this stage was relatively easy as we just had to draw our images to visualise our ideas. We drew out all of our shots and worked out which shots needed to be filmed together. We also annotated the shot types but werent sure of the timings yet.

Email To Production Company
