Filming Session #9 (28/11/2016)

In this session, we went back to Sutton High Street to film the coffee shop shots, lip syncing shots for superimposition and split-screen, our ending shot of the artists walking in different directions and some shots we thought would work well such as the artists standing together and then in post make the male artist fade out to leave the female artist on her own.

For this shot, we set the camera on a fig rig and placed in on a chair in order to get a stable shot without a tripod as we were not allowed to use one at this location, so we used our initiative to get as steady of a shot as possible.

This shot will be used as part of our split-screen of the artists lip syncing at different locations. We have decided to film one side during the day and the other in the evening so they are contrasting.

These shots were taken for our superimposition shot in our video. We ensured the artists sat in similar places in order to get the greatest impact from when we edited them together in post.

This is the final shot of our video when the artists walk in opposite directions. Our original location for this shot was a park, however, we feel we had a lot of shots in a park location and that this long passage would work well. This footage will be unique as it is quite a long take, although occurring at the end of the video, long takes are not typically used in music videos.

These are shots we took in order to then create the effect the male artist fades out and leaves the female artist in shot. To achieve this we kept the camera in the same position and after the male artist was in frame for a few seconds, they moved aside with the female artist staying in the same position so that it appeared that she male would fade out with him next to her but would appear as one continuous shot. This shot is unique as it involves removing an artist from the music video at that moment in time which is different as most music videos which feature the artist(s) are shown on camera at all times , whereas ours goes against that.

We shot these extreme close ups of the artists eyes in order to create a 'speedy eyes' effect when we would speed up the clip so the eyes would move faster. These shots are unique as this effect is not typically seen in an indie pop music video and if the artist(s) is/are on camera, they are usually not shot at such a close distance.
