Today, we filmed the bedroom scenes. This took several hours and multiple retakes of shots, not just to improve what we were filming but to also allow us to film shots multiple times from different angles, allowing greater flexibility in telling the narrative as the different shots show different things, e.g. close-up = emotion or establishing shot = to show a setting, so it was imperative that we recorded what we thought would add to and improve our video.
As a group, we had all agreed that the footage which we had filmed previously, was taken from too far a distance to convey the emotions and expressions of the characters and so we used this day of filming to help counteract the shots taken further away and in some cases, to replace some of that footage.
In the final cut, we would like to try to be a bit more brave in terms of what we shoot. By that, I mean filming shots closer up and being more daring in terms of the shots and angles which we want to film. This would improve our video and make it seem more like what you would expect from a music video rather than maybe some of our rough-cut shots.
Here are a selection of images taken from within the set of where we were filming:
These two pictures were taken as we were getting some close up shots of our main character looking unstable and unwell. We wanted to include some really close up shots on this shoot because it is something we didn't really think about before when we have filmed previously and so we thought these scenes would be the perfect time to create these shots.
This picture was taken as we were shooting the section where our main character leaves the house. This is going to appear very early on in the video as it sets the story about where he is going etc. so it needs to be really good. We got a lot of different shots for this section so we can use faster paced editing showing some parts close up and some parts further away to show different things.
This was taken when we also had "the drug" with us. This was us trying to create a really interesting shot where our main character is shown lying on a bed and as the camera pans round to the mirror, the mirror reveals that she is lying next to him. We spent a lot of time on this shot because we wanted it to reveal a lot about the storyline, starting to really hint to people what is going on.
This shoot went really well, we got lots of footage and we are looking forward to editing it all in with the footage we already have and watching the video really start to come together.
