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.

Locations (Music Video, Digipack, and Website)

For the music video I'm going to be using six different locations. While at these locations I plan to also take photos for the digipack and band website as this will make it feel like a proper promotional package rather than three individual things. Another reason is that I will have all the band members, so I should be able to get some group photos. The classroom/corridor scene will be filmed in school; the 'dark room' in a store room; band performance in the school hall; the walk to school/protagonist walking to be filmed near to where I live, and the bedroom scene at my house.  5 Ingleton Rd, Hasland, Chesterfield S41, UK | Instant Street View This is where I am planning to shoot the bridge/street scene, as it is a quiet location but has the potential to get a variety of shots. I could film on the top of the hill to get an establishing or a scenic background. It also has a bridge and a train line.
