Review for the first day of shooting the chorus

Lighting

Today we were taught about lighting and how as directors of our music video, we have the ability if we so desire to manipulate the type of lighting and the effect of this may create in the drama studio at school. The drama studio is best for shooting scenes of a play  or something which needs a very precise effect or feel about it, for example, the contrast in Kanye West's "All of The Lights" most of the video would have been created in a studio.

First Day of Shooting the Narrative Footage

This was the first day of shooting the narrative footage for the music video, this was a productive day as we were able to get amazing footage. We experimented with different camera angles to convey the theme of love which is shown through the flashback footage we got, over the shoulder shots, low angle shots, establishing shots and panning shots. The use of natural lighting will prove to be effective as it can have different undertones and convey different connotations.

Video Diary - Shooting the Chorus

This was the second day of filming for our music video, in which we used the drama studio. We are going to use the green screen, to add different background's for the singer that effectively represent the genre. The day was productive as we experimented with different camera angles and different lighting to convey different meanings. We thought about having a strobe light effect, but then the footage that came out of it had this black flash on the camera, I think we would hold off using the strobe lights for now, if we can fix the problem we will definitely think about using it.

Music Video Filming Schedule

This is a filming schedule for our music video, these are days in which we hope to get the necessary footage for our music video. We hope to stick to this schedule without any interruption.

Music video analysis (r&b) from jaystarzy

This is a music video by Hip Hop artist Lupe Fiasco featuring R&B singer Trey Songz. This video is a huge inspiration for the making of our music video. The way in which the director uses natural lighting to convey key aspects and themes of the song. It has made us understand the key concept of lighting and the way in which it could be used for creating effect.
