1. We are going to start by filming our two master
shots which will feature Waseem singing the
lyrics to the song. In one of the shots he will be
in a club setting. Different people will be
dancing in the background and the backlights
will be different colours. We also might have
flashing lights or lasers. This would be a slow
tracking shot were the camera would be on a
tripod while slowly moving around. In this shot
Waseem would be wearing smart casual
clothing, such as a smart coat with a plain t-
shirt. The outfit would also include his
sunglasses which he will be wearing in every
shot.
The second master shot will be set against a
blank background which will most likely be
grey of white. Waeem will be wearing a suit in
this scene but will still be wearing the iconic
sunglasses. The scene will be shot at eyelevel
with Waseem and will remain stationary
throughout the shot. This shot is inspired by a
master shot from one of R.Kelly music videos.
One of our scenes will be of a silhouette which
we will use to highlight the figure of the
women who features in the song. We will
achieve this silhouette by turning of all the
lights in the studio and shining a single bright
light from behind Tamara. Our inspiration for
this shot if from the music video for Swedish
House Mafia ‘One.’
Another scene we will use to highlight the
features and the figure of the women will be a
seductive shot of Tamara posing against a
white backdrop. This shot will be filmed in a
similar way to the shot in the music video
‘Same Girl.’ The camera will be set to tilt and
we will use a number of different distances
from Tamara to her highlight different
features. This is the same technique they use
in ‘Same Girl.’
Along with the shot of Tamara posing against
a blank background, we will also feature some
extreme close up shots of parts of her face.
This would symbolize the things Waseem
would be attracted to for example the lips, the
eyes etc. These types of shots also feature in
the music video for ‘Some Girl.’
In a similar setting to our first master shot in
the club setting, we will also film a lot more
shots of people dancing. These shots will be
filming on a hand held camera at lots of
different angles. Throughout these clips we
will attempt to make it look as realistic as
possible. We will achieve this by getting our
actors to dance and act as if they were
actually dancing in a club.
During the shots of people dancing of the
club, there will also be a series of shots were
the camera focuses completely on Tamara.
We will follow this up with shots of other
people trying to dance with her to make her
look as desirable as possible.
This shot will follow up with Waseem
approaching Tamara and dancing with her.
The shot will still be shot in a club setting
therefore people will still be seen to be
dancing in the background.
