This is my first cut of my music video. You can see the different locations I have been filming in. Since creating my first cut and editing, some of my clips need to be directed differently, for example, different camera angles. Also, some of the lighting is an issue as its dark outside, the quality of the video is grainy and it brings the rest of the music video down.


Firstly, As my friend falls on the bed, I think it looks really effective, especially in slow motion, although the timing needs to be altered to fit with the beat and when she hits the bed. I struggled with the camera angle and trying to fit the bed in portrait so I had to film it landscape. Also, I think the quality isn't the best, and it has a yellow/orange tint which I don't think looks very professional. I am still deciding whether to re film the clip with better lighting equipment or think of other ideas such as, water falling on someone, with the same impact as falling.

WHITE CUT EFFECT - On my editing timeline, I placed a white flash so when she falls on the bed it flashes.

Eyes-
I have done a close up of the eyes opening. This looks effective as it showing her awakening as she begins to tell the story... Although, the lighting is also a problem as it's too dark which makes the quality of the scene not as good as the others. What can I do to improve? Get better lighting equipment to make the eye look much brighter.

Shooting schedule update

So far for my filming I have filmed my first shots with the mise-en scene at the beach in Hornsea. I have also filmed the eyes and lips parts, which are close ups.

Memories

Smoke - I have decided not to do the smoke anymore, as it became too complicated and also didn't fit in my music video as well as the other scenes.

Location Idea

Beverley library
I am going to ask and see if I can film in the old staircase of Beverley Library. I chose this as one of my filming locations as it's very historic and will look great for my music video!

Similar idea to what I have in mind:

What did I achieve?

This week I started filming for the first time on Hornsea Beach. I used my camera to film. I had a very productive day and was very pleased with how everything went.

Leisure centre- Pool!

First of all, I asked Hornsea Leisure centre if there was a possibility that I could use the pool to film Katie in. They took my name and number and said that they would get back to me, although I didn’t hear anything from them. I then went to ask the leisure centre in Beverley and they were happy to let me film one Saturday night at 9, when all the public had left. J
