Day 3 Filming (Production)

For The third and final day of filming we wanted to put our main focus on the artist. The artist is going to play a big role in the video we want to try and capture her the best we can as we are trying to sell her to the audience so everything has to be on point. We met up extra early at the Barbican Center we locate dit there as we used it for the opening shot's and dancing scenes and thought they should all link we met up early  because we learned from the first day of filming that it begins to get dark early so we gave ourself extra time to film in the day light. 


The first thing we done was film the base tracks for our video. These where the most important shot's as they would run from the start to the end of the music video. We got the artist to lip sync to the whole start from start to finish as we would be cutting from her to other scene sin the video. We got her to walk towards the camera, we got her to perform next to a fountain which looked beautiful as it made it seem as if she had wings and that whole scene just added to the mis en scene and made everything very angelic like the singer's voice. We also found a great spot at the Barbican that had big long leaves and we got the artist to sing in there and we got some extra shot's of her walking around inside, we done this because it looked like a completely different place when you step inside it was really enchanting and it contrasted with everything else and I think the more different scenes we have the more interest our video will have on our audience and viewer. 

Here are some of the pictures from day 3 of filming 

  

I think we left the best till last because the day went really well, we got to shoot all the shot's we wanted we even had time to try out some experimental shot's and got some extra shot's of me dancing too. The clips of the artist really looked impress and I thought the close ups of her face looked really professional and high quality. I loved it when we filmed her walking in the leaves as it looked really striking and something that you would see in a real music video today. If we had to film it again I would have commented and told Stephanie to really sing out loud and make bigger mouth gestures while singing because sometimes it looked like she was whispering the lyrics but she did a great job remembering the whole song and singing it over and over and over again without getting annoyed I know I would have. We have now official finished filming now all that is left is editing now here is where most of the work will have to go in =]
