Filming 16/01/17

Today I filmed the shots in the dark room. Using a combination of LED lights: with one barn door light with a red gel placed over half of it to add a bit of colour, and phone lights to create a chiaroscuro lighting rig. For good measure a green screen was used to get a plain background. Filming with little light isn't ideal for DSLRs, as their sensors aren't like professional film making cameras.




Here's a collection of shots from today. Using GIMP 2, a free alternative to Photoshop, I've edited the photos to match my blue/red theme by layering several of the same photo and then adjusting the cyan and red balance, opacity and position.

There is also no music video to this songs,which is good and a narrative/performance video could work with the track. Joy Division -...

Casting

There are four main roles to be filled in my music video; these being the protagonist, singer, drummer and bassist. The other minor roles are characters in the classroom scene who are part of the 'friend group'. So far I've got all the main roles filled and one minor role. For each of these roles I've given the actors an information pack with the filming dates, their characters roles, costume, and the outline for the music video.  Protagonist: The protagonist from 10woodre Drummer: The drummer from 10woodre Bassist: The bassist from 10woodre Singer: The singer from 10woodre Friend 1: The friend from 10woodre
