Filming For The Chorus

Yesterday I filmed a clock/timer on a microwave and set this to 3 am so it conisides with the lyrics of 'Talk You Down'. I filmed the footage when it was dark as I was unable to use any lighting because the camera would show up in the reflection on the microwave however in the this gave it a better effect as it stood out more.

Filming

I have schedueled to film for more of my music video production. I am planning to do this on friday at my indoor location. I will film a few different shots of a digital clock at the time of ''3AM' for my video and will try to use as many different camera angles and movements as possible to make this more interesting. I could also frame the shot differently so the positioning is different.

Filming Using A Clamp Tripod

Today I filmed myself walking outside past a brick wall and for this I used the Clamp Tripod. I chose to use this piece of equipment because I wanted to get a high angled shot of a person so it gave the impression (when edited) that the person had been filmed on CCTV. This shot will also reiterate the setting/location of the The Scripts music video as there is a brick wall and also there isn't many rural areas which have CCTV. To make the shot look like a it is from CCTV, I will select a suitable effect when editing the clip so it looks realistic. The Clamp Tripod is a another new piece of media equipment which I have learnt about during my AS and A2 productions which I can use in my evaluation.

Uploading Footage

Today I have uploaded footage of the opening scenes of my music video with my female performer, the scenes I filmed from inside the car and also the footage of the cards with the lyrics on. I will add the opening scenes to final cut express so I can continue editing and add to my current production.

Filming The Lyrics On The Cards

Today I have arranged with two of my classmates to film the lyrics on the cards which I made the other day. I have decided to use a plain white background so the colours on the cards will stand out and attract the audiences attention.

Importing My Music Track Into Final Cut & Practicing My Editing

Today I imported my track of The Script's song 'Talk You Down' into Final Cut Express 4 and saved this as my music video project which will be ongoing whilst I edited my filming together. I also imported the first two scenes of the music video, which is of my female performer and these are very tight extreme close up shots. I feel that these scenes are suitable for the opening of my music video because the music is of a slow speed and this suits the shots I have used.
