Planning shots

This is the opening shot, we will be facing away from the sun to somewhat give it more of a lowkey lighting, and also a light behind the camera to make us actually visible.

Location decision for music video

As I've said previously, I wanted to create something that relates to underground bands trying to make it in the music industry, so I picked some places that I would think bands would hang out. Then I remembered, oh wait, I'm in a band myself, so this made the locations very easy as to where we'd hang out as a group.

A house, an opened spaced room where we can all chill




A local park to hang around in when bored




Practice room, where you, (you guessed it) practice.





The reason I chose to use a house was because it's more practical than the others. Filming ourside is reliant on the whether, the temperature, it's harder to maintain lighting, and the reason I didn't choose the practice room is because of the amount of money paid for a limited amount of time. I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on hiring a room to run the risk of us not having enough time to film, either being people running late, unorganisation and other factors. The house gives me unlimited access where I can control the lighting, the whether (because it's indoors) and it's easier to manage other people being reliable. Plus as I had a limited time with the other guitarist from my band to do the playthrough with me as he lives in Whitstable, I needed to have the most reliable and solid location to film in. Although despite all of this, because my opening will be very short I want to attempt and film it outside.

Questionnaire

Instragram promotion idea

I created these 5 images for the release of the music video, where over a period of 5 days one image would be posted, this would be to hype up the fans and to build anticipation for the release of the music video. I also created a competition where we were able to share the image for a reward of free merchandise.

Opening track

This is our live intro that I'm mixing with the song so I'll be able to make an intro for my project, but I need to film the opening before I play around with the times on the meida

Testing the camera and small editing

I teamed up with Luke to help me record this, I liked some of the shots that we used, but unfortunately some of them were too long in the edit, as a typical music video changes shot every 2 - 3 seconds and there's a couple of longer shots in our video. I played with the focus on the camera to change it from different objects and I quite like the effect it's given off. For an actual part of the video I will pay more attention to my misc-en-scene and my lighting as well as keeping an eye on my editing.

My gear

The guitar I am using is a Schecter SGR C-7 for the video, and the amp which will be a part of the misc-en-scene is a Marshall MG-FX50
