Final Draft

This is the final draft of our music video. 

Filming - 14/03/16

Yesterday my group and I filmed our last performance shots for our music video. We contrasted the shots and decided to use darker projections so at the bridge in the song there was different scenery for the performance. The location that we used for our last filming was the big drama room in our school. We decided to use this room because it has all black walls meaning there was enough space for us to set up our equipment which we needed to film. For this shoot, we decided to use two cameras so we could use the dolly and film our performer on different angles.

Editing process

When my group and I were filming we were editing along the way and kept editing if we had filmed more as we would have more footage. On Monday, we showed some of our music video to our class mates and they had given us their feedback. Most people in the class thought that some of the narrative shots and performance shots looked too similar and that we should start the music video with narrative shots so our audience understands the concept of the narrative. After receiving this feedback, my group and I played around with the colouring of our performance shots so there was a difference in our narrative and performance shots.

Shooting - 14/03/16

On Monday 14th March, as a group we are going to be filming more performance shots but this time in a different setting. Before we filmed all the performance shots in quite a light environment whereas this time our setting will be a darker room. We want to film this so our performance shots don't look all the same and we have a bit of variety in our music video. 

We were going to film projections but against a black back drop. Some of the projections we were thinking of using were of lightning or the stars. Some examples are below:

Costume

When filming both the narrative and performance shots we had different costumes to distinguish the two scenes. 

When we were filming the performance shots, we had our group member Sophie bring a white top, white shorts, baby blue jeans and a yellow cami top. We wanted to mix up the outfits that she wore for the performance shots as we didn't want the shots to all look the same. For the narrative parts of our music video, Sophie wore a plain white dress and a veil as she was the bride and our other group member Paru wore a plain white dress and a clutch bag as she was the other bride. Emily and I both wore two long plain black dresses as we were the bridesmaids. 

For our last shoot, we decided to have a darker looking costume. We decided for our group member to wear a long grey top with black lace up heels. We decided for our group member to wear these type of shoes because we wanted her feet moving around so we could include this towards the end of our music video.


Some pictures of the various costumes are below:

Makeup

For most our shoots for our music video, the makeup wasn't heavily done because we wanted to go for a more light hearted look but when we changed the scenery for our performance shots, we decided that we wanted to go for a different look for the makeup. As these performance shots were darker, we decided to make the make up darker by using a darker lipstick and darker eyeshadow with some gold glitter.
