Filming 18/1/17

The band performance

 The music video is going to be split around 50/50, one half narrative, one half performance. Using 3 cameras (two on tripods and one on a shoulder mount) we went through a range of shots from the serious artist ones to the mick take ones, both of which are commonly found in music videos. For the set I used a black curtain and dark rolls of paper. The lighting for this section was done using the lighting rig with the kind help of the two students in lower school. My intent for the shoot was to get a standard band setup, and make use of a few props like duct tape and a stool.

She's Hearing Voices by Bloc Party is another song I am considering, as the lyrics are interesting and have a possible reference to the Matrix, which means I can include intertextual references in my video. 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
