Today we worked on the introduction to our music
video. For
this particular scene we did not have to go on location which made it a
lot
easier for us to pick up anything that we forgot from the media
department or
to charge anything that died while filming. Luckily this did not happen
to us
:)
We used the dark room in the art department for
this scene
as we planned to play around with lights and shadows to make the
introduction
interesting. At times this was a bit hard as the dark room was not built
for
filming and as such did not have enough space for us to move the camera
around
much, however we worked around that flaw and were able to capture some
great
footage!
Before filming we were told by the art teachers
that the
professional lights in the dark room were not to be used as some
students broke
on of them beforehand. Because of this a considerable amount of our plan
was
hindered. We overcame this by using silhouettes of writing from
projector paper
to create interesting shots. Yes, I did feel that the coloured lights
would've
made a great introduction but I am pleased with what we have come up
with in
the limited amount of time we had to recreate a vital point in our music
video.
Furthermore, while filming we were able to shoot
some more
cut aways in case we needed to fill up any spaces in the video. All in
all I
think that today’s filming went really well! We got a lot of it out of
the way
and we can now focus on the more complicated scenes and that will form
the
middle of the song.
