Video shooting and location (2) Tv studio

    Here we used Filter lights. We used white film to make the scenes of the music video look more real and professional. It also helped to brighten up the artists, portraying the idea that they are "star" like and famous.We didn't use colour film such as red or blue as we thought this may contrast with their skin complexion, so instead we just used the white film to make it look more professional and famous like.                                                         

                                                                                                                                                                     

Here we were testing the focus and positioning before we actually started to film. This was could as part of our preparation regime as when we was testing out the shots there was a lot wrong with the positioning and focus, so it allowed us time to sort it out before the artists had arrived. We decided to use the white background instead of the green screen as whilst looking at other examples of a2 music videos with green screen they tended to look un real and less professional than the plain white screen.

Here one of the media students were setting the white balance on the camera. we did this to remove any unrealistic colour casts. We wanted the music video to be bright and meaningful so we though using mostly bright whites would help portray this and wont look too over the top.

Here is one of the artists in action. I took this picture as it shows the mis-en-scene of this part in the music video. We used a white screen due to the reason above. We also used the lighting at the sides of the screen to get rid of shadows. Here the camera man is getting a mid- close up shot of the artist. The reason we got different shots of the artists was to make the music video have more variety and making it look more professional.

  

 Here again are all the artists in action. This time the camera man is getting a low angle shot of them making them look superior and making them achieve the look of having a higher status than the audience, as we would be looking up at them. We got the artists to look down at the camera creating eye contact between audience and artist.                                           
          
Overall the reason why we decided to use this as our location and just use a white background was to bring out the band as opposed to anything else going on within the background. We thought by doing a plain background it would look more professional and bring them out more.
