1. Production Screenshots.
Day 1
This screenshot of my music video was taken on
the first day of filming, in this shot I had to stand in
the cold and rain to try and get a mysterious look. I
had a drag of my e-cig in order to get my breath so
thick. I personally really liked this shot as it came
out exactly as I pictured it, it also gave off the
effect that it was cold and gloomy. This shot was
quite easy to get and it didn’t take me long.
This shot was also taken on the first day of filming.
I personally didn’t like this shot because of the
lighting, because I wanted to film at night and I the
dark. This shot wasn’t that hard to get but because
of the lighting we took several shots to make sure
we had at least one good one. The way I strutted in
the video shows a lot of cockiness and shows the
character I played was very arrogant.
This shot of Emma was very hard to get. This is
because the lamps nearby gave nearly no light
under the bandstand. So I had to get 2 torches and
hold them into place to make sure you could see
Emma’s face. I personally don’t like this shot,
purely because of the fact we had to use torches
which didn’t give the lighting effect we wanted.
This was also taken on the first day of shooting.
One thing I do like about this shot is that it is a
facial close up.
This has to be my favourite shot. I especially like
the way I walk into the shot, walk down the stairs
and disappear into the night. It gives it a sense of
mystery and makes it look like I can vanish. Again
this shot was quite easy to get as the lighting gave
me a good cover to disappear into. The editing I did
on this video didn’t take me long. I was just playing
around with different edits and found this one and
immediately loved it.
2. Day 2.
This was the hardest shot I could ever do. In this
clip I hit Emma with my ball’n’stick. But I had to be
very very careful hat I didn’t hit her. As you can see
in the screenshot the weapon doesn’t eve go any
wear near Emma. This was because I needed to
make sure the swing looked real and the fall
looked real without hitting her. The lighting on this
shot was also very bad, this is because of the
colour of the stick you couldn’t see it. So we had to
use several torches to make it visible. But you can
see the torches moving. Because of all this I don’t
particularly like this shot however I don’t think we
could have done it better without the risk of
hitting her. The next screenshot shows a shot of
the weapon dripping with fake blood. But because
we used torches the blood looked very fake, so it
took me a while to edit the clip and make the
blood look real. But I do like this shot.
This shot was one of the most amusing shots I
took. This was because we had to shoot it about
24 times, This was because Shannon could open
my door. She didn’t know how to unlock the door
and when she did unlock it she couldn’t take the
key out. There was absolutely no light for this
shot so we had to use a torch. Overall I liked this
shot purely because it gave me about half an hour
of fun
This shot was hard to get as I had to stick the
weapon in the door at the right time so it didn’t
bounce open a bit. But it also shows that I’ve
found my way into the house. I do like this shot
because as I stick the weapon through the door
the beat drops in the song so it goes really really
well. The editing on this shot was easy because it
was inside the lighting on it was brilliant.
3. This was a fun clip to get because I had to kick the
door open; I had to do this a few times because
the door kept bouncing open. On this clip, if you
saw the whole of it you can see the door almost
comes off its hinges. The lighting on this was good
because it makes it look bright out the door and
dull inside.
This shot was quite hard to do because we had to
act out a fight. This was hard because I had to
make it look as real as possible without hurting
anyone. But actually in this shot I accidently hit
her in the head with my weapon as she punched
me. So this made it look more realistic. The
lighting on this shot was good because it gave us a
nice balanced clip.
This is hands down my favourite shot of all time.
The is 2 shots merged together. I did this by
putting one on top of the other and changing it
opacity to make it able to see both shots. I like
this shot because you can see me following
Shannon even though we are both walking at the
same time. This is a pretty cool shot because the
merge together really well and the timing on
them couldn’t be better.
