So far we have filmed the majority of what we planned to film. This has included as follows:
Shoot 1
Our first stage of filming involved us taking so concept close up shots of the two band members faces. We shot this footage at a location at the back of the stage in school which contains a dark bricked walk way which allowed us to take some very detailed conceptual moving light shots using spotlights and the dark location. They were all close up shots involving lip syncing and looked very striking.
The second stage of filming which was perceived to the main part of our music video was the live performance shoot. This took place in the drams studio at school, but as you can see from previous post due to large amounts of planning under went a transformation to become 'Encoded's live set'. This involved the construction of a back drop which can be seen during our production diary, and in full use below. During this shoot we took a much wider variety of shots, from close ups to tracking shots, to medium long shots and low angles. This covered a large variety of angles across the stage and studio. Using access above and around the sides of the stage also helped considerably as we were able to get high angle shots to accompany the point of view shots. Below you can see how we went about setting up the studio as well as filming.
Shoot 3
Shoot number 3 for us involved filming at the lo action of Richards house and the road outside. We chose this location to film some more close up and concept shots as the lighting was almost perfect and the road out the front of the location was perfectly catered for some natural shots of the group interacting and showing a natural side to the group away from the performance location. These were mainly close up lip syncing shots using lighting set ups, however did also include some wide angle shots of open spaces.
