Filming 7/2/17

The walk to school sequence and poster shots were filmed today. The walk to school sequence was filmed just outside of the school grounds. As done previously I got everyone to do one take and then just have the protagonist in the shot. This is so that later in post-production I can make the band disappear but keep the protag on the screen at the same time

Album Cover Testers

We were tasked with taking photos against a consistent background for album covers in preparation for the digipack task later on in the course. There were a range of different typical album cover shots to choose from, I also added in a few extra as well. For the photos I used a DSLR on a tripod, and I also decided to set up an additional light source to the right of camera to create harsher shadows.  The light source (two phones attached to a hole punch with blue tac) 'WE ARE A LOT OF FUN' Album Cover: For this photo I changed the green screen to black on Photoshop so that we stood out against the background.

For the 'gangster' look I decided to have an out of focus clenched hand c...

For example playing guitar in a countryside location The video focused on the artist quite a bit, and that is typical of a music video, but it does get repetitive after a while.  The shots are a little limited and do have a few exposure issues Using the mark scheme I would have...

Popscene

We are planning on doing a recreation of Blur's Popscene music video, directed by David Mould. We've discussed possible venues to film the music video, and we've decided on the school hall. This location is close to the music department where we are allowed to borrow equipment such as microphones and microphone stands, as well as a drum kit and amplifiers. These will help to set the scene and make it look more like performance video
