Popscene recreation filming

Today we filmed for our recreation of Popscene, here are some photos I took for the CD cover task alongside the one minute recreation of the music video. For the background we used black paper so that we had a simple background which made the band stand out. We decided to get shots from a variety of angles and positions to give the music video interesting for the audience and to stay similar to the original. There were a few takes done from above with me standing above the band looking down at them with the camera. Then I went round the group following the action and getting close-up shots of each person and shots of their feet.

We had quite a simple mise-en-scene for our performance music video:

• Guitar/bass guitar (with leads)
• drum kit (with drum sticks )
• amplifiers
• microphone and stand
• Wet floor cone

While filming the video we decided to get photos for our CD cover. I took quite a few so that we had large enough selection for the inlay. Here are some of them:
