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.

Other details like the band members and recording location also need to be included.

The band distributed out flyers two days before the shoot, asking fans to appear in the video. A radio station in LA (KXLU) also made a casting call for extras. At the end of the filming, Kurt Cobain suggested letting the extras wreck the set. Bayer, the director, agreed and the destruction at the end of the music video occurred. Kurt didn't like the director's cut, so he personally watched over the re-edit, which is the final version. Amy Finnerty, who had only just joined the music programming department at MTV, campaigne...
