First day of filming - Final Music Video

Hi guys, today we started filming part of our music video - EEK so exciting! We filmed in the location of a different town called Matlock and filmed for around 2 hours between 1-3PM which enabled us to firstly take a look round the area to see which areas were most appropriate for the shots and the theme we were going for and then, obviously, take the shots planned. It was a hard task as the weather was very gloomy with a wet floor (as it had previously rained) and a lot of fog looming - this put pressure on us to ensure we got ALL the shots needed in this location, as the chance of the weather being like this again was very slight which would create continuity errors in the final piece,

We chose Matlock as it is a very green, spacious area, with lots of pathways, outdoor staircases, hills and forestry backgrounds which was our ideal look! We wanted somewhere that would make the singer/artist look isolated and alone - which was the idea we were going for - as the song relates to abandonment and rejection.

The shots taken will appear in the final music video in Polaroids which will look like pictures instead of an actual video, flicking through time. This will hopefully help emphasise the artists lonesome movements and emotions as she wanders through an empty town. In these shots, there will be no lip syncing as we wanted to focus on portraying the feelings of the artist and telling a story and we felt as a group, if we was to add lip syncing in here, it would take the focus away.

Here is a sneak peak of the location we chose to shoot in:
The second photo (on the right), if clicked on shows an example of what we will be including in our music video, like stated above, they are Polaroid shots in the form of pictures instead of your typical video.
