Filming in the studio

As our music video is almost done, we only have a few snippets in which we need to fill in the gaps with footage. Therefore in our lesson on the 13th December, we decided to go into the photography studios, and film lip singing. With the lighting provided, we filmed some excellent shoots almost making them look professional.

We were in the studio for up to about an hour, as we had to repeat certain different sections of the songs, to ensure that Sam had got them on point. There was also moments when Sam forgot the lyrics, therefore we had to film again. We were very patient with Sam, as at the end of the day, we all want to achieve the best mark we can, and to also produce a very successful and amazing music video.

Whilst filming, we continuously came up with different camera angles and movements, to ensure that we had a variety of angles, and to make certain that the camera movement was continuously flowing, to make it more exciting rather than keeping it at a fixed position.

As our chosen song 'Weather Girl' by 'Polar Collective' has a steady beat to it, me and Sam both came up with the idea of filming the camera at Sam's foot, which he would tap in beat to the music. We came up with this idea, to flourish our understanding of rhythmic editing, and to also present it within our video, to show passion and coordination.

At the end of the lesson, we uploaded the footage we had filmed in the studio, and began to fill in the gaps, with the footage. As we had spent most of the lesson filming, we only roughly had about 10 minutes to upload and begin to edit, therefore we decided mutually together, and decided to focus on the editing next lesson, to ensure that nothing was rushed. Also, as Becca had left half way through the lesson, we thought it was only fair, to also edit it next lesson, to make sure that we all had an input, as at the end of the day we are working as a team, and we all need each other's idea's and opinions to make us successful.
