In preparation for filming our actual music video me and Toby went out to film for practice and to experiment with different angles and lighting we could use in our video. We took a 25 second section from our song and did a performance based short video. I enjoyed doing it as I could practice my performance skills along with technical skills such as using the camera/lighting and editing afterwards and trying out different editing techniques such as the colour grade we might use.
We filmed in a forest at around 4pm, the setting was quite good and could potentially be a setting for our actual music video. If I were to improve anything it would be the time of day, I think we should go at night as this fits the tone of the song and genre a bit more, however not too dark so you can see the performer.
I'm glad we went out and filmed as if we make mistakes now we can learn from them before we go and shoot the real thing, and this is exactly what we did. The shots we took were not in focus, two things we learnt from this was...
1) make sure the shot is in focus, do not twist the zoom dial to focus as this will not work.
2) shots out of focus can actually look good.
Here is the little video we made, we edited it on Premiere pro:
The things I liked in the video was the extreme close ups and the red lighting. Overall this was a good experience before we film our final video.
