Making Our Music Video

Recording


A couple of weeks before filming we booked a session in a recording studio for our artist to record the song to a much higher quality. This allowed us to then burn it on to a CD and use it when filming.  The recording session went very well, the artist knew what he wanted to achieve in the amount of time we had in the studio. He manged to record the track several times which allowed him to go back on the track and make any changes or pickup on some mistakes that he had made.

Filming 


On the first day of Filming, myself and Sapir went to our location at the pub early to set up. Thirty minutes later Gianluca and Juliet arrived to begin shooting the ending of the music video.This ran smoothly and only took forty five minutes to shoot, following this Juliet left,as we no longer needed her that day. We then returned inside the pub to shoot Gianluca's Performance part of our music video. Again this ran smoothly, the Pub allowed us to use their speaker system so that the camera would pick up the pre recorded song, this would help us to match up the exact timings in editing. W e made sure to stick to our shot list and mostly got close ups of Gianluca and the guitar.

Overall i was happy the way that day went as we manged to get everything done on our shot list and more which will really help us when in Post Production.

The next day we all met up and made our way to our 2nd location. We really hoped the warm colours would come through to match those lights in the pub, luckily for us the weather was beautiful and the colours were lovely and warm. Again this day ran smoothly, the actors were patient with us and the camera and did everything we told them to do as well as voicing their opinion to the shots, which was very useful as this also made us do shots again to make sure they were perfect and that we had enough footage when editing. The day itself was a very fun day as we all got along well, this was helpful to myself and to Sapir when filming as if we hadn't gotten along I think the day would have been alot harder to direct and shoot. Furthermore it was good that both Gian and Juliet had met the day before and this had settled any nerves they might of had for the narrative shoot. They worked well together and with us which in turn made what could have been a stressful shoot day due to weather or location going wrong into a relaxed environment.

To conclude both days went well for me and Sapir when shooting our music video, the atmosphere was very relaxed as we knew what we wanted to achieve in the time we had and both actors cooperated well.
