Filming - Practice

Today we did our first music video shoot! We did this in our media lesson time as we were allowed to go out as we were so excited to start filming. Whilst filming we had to keep in mind the rule of thirds, lighting, composition and framing. We just went to the roads by the school as it was so cold and snowing. We didn't follow any set story boards as we were only practicing so we improvised. We played Danielle's Ipod so Oyinda (actress) could lip sync along. We got quite a few funny shots such as a shot of some builders who agreed to play a small part in our video! Here are a few snap shots of the day and the final edited practice below. We realised after editing the piece we did not have barely enough footage to even make a chorus which has definitely made up realise we need to film 100 times more than we need!






I made this little piece above of the beginning of the song. I editing the beginning of the trees with a soft focus effect whilst slowing down the clip. I think this is really effective as it gives a tranquil setting and establishes the scene. However this shot is FAR to long and we would need different shot types if there were going to be in the final product.








My group and I edited this montage. This was the first practice filming and although we didn't get enough shot types in I really life some of the shots. My favourite shot has to be the one of the builders. This shot really fits in with the Lilly Allen song as being really cheeky. I also LOVE the lighting on the shot were we throw leafs over Oyinda. The light captures the camera as the perfect angle. We added the song A kiss with a fist by Florence and the Machine as we thought this fit the video.
