This week my main
priority has been filming my music video. The other day I was fortunate enough
to film in one of the drama studios at my school. Here I was able to film my
artist’s performance of the song. This involved the artist singing to the
camera however there was no dancing involved as my song is a slow ballad. I
believe the lighting was one of the most important things as by altering the
lighting I was able to create different effects. In some shots I was even able
to create a silhouette of my artist however in the majority of shots, all the
lighting was focused on her so the footage looked high quality and it was clear
she was the main focus.
On Friday, I also
went to London to film a time lapse with Vanessa (the artist in my video). It
was quite difficult due to it being winter and it getting dark very early
however I am happy with the footage I got. The filming was very simple as
Vanessa only needed to sit on a bench for a length of time. However, if there
does appear to be huge problems with the lighting due to it being dark, I may
have to go to London again to re-shoot.
I have also started
to produce my other ancillary task – my magazine advert. In class we looked at
previous examples as well as what makes an effective album advert. I found this
extremely helpful when I first starting to create the template of my album
advert for the The Pretty Reckless album ‘Light Me Up’.
