Blog Reflection - Week 12

What have you been focusing on this week?

This week we recorded the footage in London such as the graffiti shots and some London Eye shots that have the extreme depth of field. We went out to London to get some sunset based shots but the travel to get into London took much longer than expected and it got darker much quicker so we had to improvise, and I had brought an LED light for backup, with multiple batteries for a longer charge.Many of the shots that were recorded came out much better than expected and had a heavy prominence in the final cut. The shots flowed well with the theme that we wanted to portray and this became very useful for our music video as we wanted to project our artists goals and backgrounds. During this day out we recorded lots of footage to have more than we needed. We got many landscape shots but we decided to not have many of them in the music video.


What key concepts have you been focusing on?

This week the main key concept was mise-en-scene as we needed more diversity and more pleasing shots for our music, so having the lots of graffiti on the walls and getting some other various based shots for the music video. While we was out there we got lots of different vibes beacuase of london being centred around many different ethnic cultures and this is shown through the use of art and graffiti in the walls are the filming location.

What were the main decisions and revisions you have made?

Filming in London was a huge benefit for our music video and brought with it many advancements with our product as the locations and visuals make the music video much more appealing and this was chosen by us to go this location. Another huge benefit was that the noise in the shots were kept to a minimum and had no huge direct affect on the final product making the footage much better than expected.
