Music Video Planning: Costume

Our two actors will be wearing all black for our music video as we want to present a monochromatic and visually aesthetic look. This also means that at times the actors costumes will blend into the backdrop and then at some points, stand out. This is intentional as we believe it will add our own visual effects to the video before putting the footage into iMovie and begin editing.

Danny and myself will be wearing a black t shirt, black jeans and black shoes.

Music Video: Filming Days

We've decided to use three days to do our filming for the music video. One of these days will be used specifically for our first attempts at lip syncing, general movement and figuring out exactly what kind of camera shots to use for various parts of the music video. The three dates will be:
28th September 2016- Lip Syncing, Movement, Camera Shots
30th September 2016
4th October 2016
We decided to use these dates in order to get the filming done as quickly as possible, but at the same time, using our time effectively to ensure we get the best quality footage we can, and so we won't be postponing any important steps in the process that can't be rushed later on down the line.

Music Video Planning: Location

For our music video, we have all decided that we will be using specific locations around school to film, as they are perfectly suitable for the backgrounds that we desire within our video. These locations include our Drama studio, a plain white wall and a two toned wall. We will also be using a projector that is located in one of our art classroom's in order to project certain patterns on to the actors faces during parts of our footage.

Drama Studio
We have chosen to film in the drama studio as there is a large black curtain there that will be perfect for a background during specific parts of filming as we want a very minimalistic feel to the video.


White and Two toned Wall
The decision to use these very plain backdrops is to also capture the minimalistic feel we want for our video as our actors (Myself (Holly) and Danny) will be doing specific movements and interacting with each other and we don't want anything to take away from the focus on them.

Music Video: Group Task

Music Video Pre-Lim Task

Today we have been looking at a variety of different music videos together to find a suitable video that contains lip syncing opportunities, as well as beats in the music that we can recreate on camera by using "claps", "snaps" etc. We have all decided on the music video "Problem" by Ariana Grande ft Iggy Azalea. Two members of our group (Myself and Danny) will feature in our 30 second+ video.
