Last Wednesday (19th January) we were able to film a few scenes and experiment with some new ideas for the video.
It was the first time we had been able to film with all of the costumes, and it turned out to be very successful. It was exciting for us to see that the costumes provide the sense of energy and fun we were looking for, matching the songs upbeat and fast-paced style.
We were able to film a variety of shots that we felt matched the atmosphere of the song, following the style of Goodwin's idea of 'a relationship between music and visuals' as a music video technique.
Along with filming some footage, this also gave us an opportunity to see what would and woudn't work in future shooting. We discovered some new shots that we feel would work perfectly in the video, and others that either weren't right for the video, or that we wouldn't be able to shoot for other reasons (such as lack of funds).
Overall, this session was certainly successful. We hope to complete the filming process at our next scheduled session on Saturday 29th January.
Try to get some footage that is well framed and steady. Alot of what you have gotten so far appears to be mostly handheld and on the shaky side. You need to show that you can use composition and framing successfully. I would like to see you using a tripod next time and thinking more about composition.
