The document summarizes the principal filming for an A2 media music video. It discusses three different scenes that were filmed: lip syncing scenes using a green screen and camera; powder paint scenes with colored paint thrown at the actor from different angles captured with three cameras; and paint pouring scenes with blue paint poured over the actor's head from two camera angles. Overall, the principal filming went well and effective shots were captured for use in the final music video.
2. Lip Syncing Scenes
• First we began by filming the lip-
syncing scenes in the TV Studio using
the green screen. I set up one camera
to film straight on and had the actor
move into various positions for each
take. Using the program TriCaster I
added a white background which I’m
then going to overlay clips onto.
During filming we have a screen inside
the studio with a preview of what was
being filmed so the actor could make
sure they were always in frame. We
also had the music playing in the
studio which made the lip-syncing to
the track easier.
3. Powder Paint Scenes
• We then set up the background for the
powder paint scenes which was a white
sheet hung up and taped in front of the
green screen and plastic covering a
large area of the floor and lighting
equipment. I used three cameras for
this scene to capture the action from
various angles that I would later cut
together in editing. I then made sure I
was out of shot and threw multi-
coloured powder paints at the actor
from different positions. I also made
sure to that it went on the sheet and
floor to create a colourful setting
around her. When I come to edit these
I’ll most likely adjust the lighting as I
think it may have been too bright during
filming.
4. Paint Pouring Scenes
• For the last scene in the TV Studio we
cleared away the sheets and white
background and replaced it with a black
curtain and a chair for the actor to sit
on. I thought the black would contrast
nicely with the pastel colours of her
hair and clothing. I then stood on a
stool next to the chair and poured a pot
of blue paint mixed with water over her
head. I used two cameras for this shot,
one facing directly forwards and a close
up angle from the side. I think overall
the principle filming went well and I got
some effective shots that I’m going to
use in my final music video.
