Filming Day 7

Day 7

After editing my footage yesterday, I decided that it would be a good idea to go out and get footage of Chloe and Max.

For this I wanted to capture the memories they would have had as a couple before it all went wrong in the story. It also meant that both Chloe and Max could act naturally around each other without worrying about what they were doing and without thinking about the camera being infront of them.





When I began to film I just focussed on Max who was smiling and joking around, this was good for me to capture as it shown him in his happy state. The clip shows Max to be dancing and performing to the camera and by not having Chloe present here it looks as though she could be filming him, this worked exceptionally well when Max sang to the camera as well as coming right up to the lens.








I later got both characters to sit together and it was here that Max began to make Chloe laugh, showing them to have nautural body language when they are around each other. It also worked well as there were different shots that I have used including a zoom and close up which means I will be able to seperate these shots when I am editing my video.

I have also got different footage of Chloe and Max apart from each other which again in parts looks as though one or the other has filmed their 'partner'. This works well as the video is all about them, making it more personal and the video more effective. Shots I have used here have been close ups and medium long shots. This can be seen more when I have focussed on Max playing pool.

Today during my media lesson I decided to re-visit my music video after focusing on my print artefact's during previous lessons. When looking at it I realised that I needed more footage to fill in the blank spaces and to do this I planned to film with Chloe and Max to create their memories and I also want to get some more footage of Casey who would be performing the song.

When looking at some of the video footage that I already had of Casey I decided to see what it would look like in my music video. This clip shows Casey side on looking in front of her.When positioning this, I didn't think that the way she was facing worked well enough to be included along the timeline and this is why I have only included a small portion of this footage.

During this lesson I also asked for feedback from Mr Judge who recommended that I should put effects on the footage of Casey due to the fact the white background in the video is quite boring. This can be seen from the screen shot above. On the right hand side you will be able to see a screen shot of the edited footage and this shows the clips to have a yellow tint as well as a brightness coming from behind Casey. I have done this by adding a lens flare to the clip which added the brightness and I have added lighting effects to the footage which has enabled it to turn yellow.


The next thing I noticed when re-playing the video was that there was a beat that would drop everyone so often, this was something I had to think about as many music videos follow this convention. The clips I placed on the timeline in these places were of Chloe and Max which meant I could flash between them and the performance which meant I was effectively linking the footage. I like how this has worked as I have been able to bring the video together.

Throughout my video I have also incorporated the use of black and white. In the music video I have used this technique as a way of showing the memories my characters Max and Chloe had.
