Filming Day Three

So today I was sat editing in the media room when I saw that I had quite a lot of gaps in my video that needed filling. I watched a couple existing media products and saw that it was common for the artist to be seen singing to the camera in front of a colored background. I chose two different backgrounds as shown. I chose the red because red imagery connotes blood and danger in media texts which relates to the theme of decay in my video.

A very common convention of music videos in the electropop genre is the use of shape symbolism. I did not use the exact image shown because I could not find the one I used but this was very similar. 

Filming Day Two

Filming Day One

Today I started to film for my music video. I think it went quite successful despite facing a couple hurdles along the way so I made a vlog about how the day went:

 

Filming Day Reschedule

Today I scheduled to start shooting my music video but it inconveniently began to snow. The section I planned to film was in the Hilly Fields woods and I can not do the shots with the snow so I decided to reschedule that to next Sunday. To make up for the lost time I decided to start filming the indoor shots and get those finished.

Location 2

My second location is the characters bedroom. The bedroom I will film in is mine. I took all pictures and objects in the mise-en-scene down to leave it quite plain and generic. I didn't want her to have a room that didn't suit her character. The character wouldnt have bright walls and pictures of her friends everywhere so I made sure to remove all that to ensure the mise-en-scene is just right. I wanted the room to reflect how vulnerable and lonesome she is.

Location 1

My first location is Hilly Fields where I plan to shoot the overhead shots of my character lying on the floor and just looking around. This picture shows exactly where I decided to shoot. I shot here because this particular spot had a lot of dry leaves where I could lie without getting dirty. One of my shots is a POV shot of where she is looking around and this spot had the sun shine nicely on it and has the potential to create a really nice shot.
