Contact Sheets from Photoshoot 1

 

 

I have made 2 contact sheets of images which I took while filming in London. I thought it would be a good first take to see how the images will come out in the same location of the where the music video was shot. I think having images in the same locations as where the music video was shot is a good idea becuase it will create this sense of consistencey however I don't want to repeat the image/look of the actor again. There are some images which stand out to me for instance: the last few are good where the actor is leaning and looking away and looking at the camera.

Props List

The props list features all the equipment, costumes and the potential styling needed to be done for my shoot. I specifically listed out what garments I want to build a costume for the music video. With my main actor, her outfits changed from the indoor and the outdoor shoot, as it needs to be suitble for the environment we were in to shoot.
For the ballerina performance, I've asked performer to wear a leotard to emphasis the 'ballerina' image.
Styling was also very specific. I listed out the make up I asked my main actor to wear and for the ballet performer.
All the potential equipment is also listed out needed for both filming and photoshoots.

Progress

This is my first post on my visual progression of my music video. On the timeline, I have already placed all the footage I have shot into different tracks and attempted to match the lip syncing with the audio. As you can see, from the top track on the timeline, I have started to edit out the video by watching it and then using the 'razor' tool to cut split the video from one part to another. On the left hand side, I have imported all footage from both the outdoor and the indoor shoot. To be more organised, I categorised them into folders of locations for instance 'Studio Shoot' or 'Tower Bridge Shoot'.

Behind the Scenes of Video Shoot (Drama Studio)

Here  is a quick behind the scenes video of my first scheduled video shoot in the drama studio.
In this video you will see me shooting many takes of my performer. There were different camera angles and equipment used in order to achieve at least 5 different takes.

Raw Footage

This raw footage is one of the takes from my music video shoot in the drama studio. I used the Steadicam to achieve extreme close up shots of the performer.
