Oh the great fun we have filming!

We have recently filmed our last scenes of myself in the mental institute and also the shots of me singing along to our chosen song! We really enjoyed filming these scenes as we are challenging ourselves to use different types of shots and also editing it all the look professional. We enjoy these challenges as we liked to see how far we can go to achieve the best shots and how amazing the final production will be due to our efforts.
Here are some pictures I think you will enjoy looking at to show just how fun filming our last scenes have been!

It all started off pretty normal, Leanne eating and myself being made to do some strange things...


We then celebrated our early morning of filming with some pizza.


And then of course, we decided to shout, laugh, climb around and work hard!





Lastly, we created a very crazy scene!

Our Mood Boards

We created two mood boards to show our music video ideas through a selection of images.

Editing

As we have now got some footage, we have started editing our scenes and have been adding different effects to our shots! It is starting to look really good and is coming along well. We are all really excited to film the rest of our scenes and then start editing it all! 

Research

I have decided to carry out some research to help create my A2 production. I have looked at previous music videos from the same music genre.

 I looked at Rihanna's music video to her song 'What Now' as it shows a lot of shots that as a group we want to achieve. Rihanna's acting in this video also gives me (as the actress in our production) an idea on how I need to act to fulfil my character.




 Nero's video to 'Crush On You' uses a lot of effects, which I think helps gives the 'freaky' and 'scary' look to the video. The acting and costume/hair/make-up is exactly what we are going for, and after looking at this video, we have had ideas on how to dress me and make me look to highlight the fact that I have mental issues.

Permission

As a group we sent off an email to 'Asylum Records' to ask for permission to use the song 'Right Here' by 'Rudimental ft. Foxes' for our A2 music video production. The email explains that we will not be selling the song on and it is being used for strictly educational purposes only.

Song Choice and Lyrics

Rudimental Right Here (feat. Foxes)

 [Verse:] Late at night when you realize you're on your own
 I know the feelings inside you start to grow

 [Per-Chorus] Please tell me that it's alright, alright, alright
 I wanna know Please tell me that it's alright, alright, alright
 I wanna know Please tell me, tell me

 [Chorus x2] 'Cause everybody's got something 

Something they can't hide
 Let it out into the open Right here, right now
 Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh

 [Verse:] When you turn up the light and you're all alone
Cold as the shapes and the shadow's gone

 [Pre-Chorus] Please tell me that it's alright, alright, alright
Tell me that it's alright, alright, alright I wanna know
 Please tell me, tell me...

 [Chorus x2] 'Cause everybody's got something Something they cant hide
 Let it out into the open Right here, right now
 Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
 (everybody clap your hands now)
 Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
 (Everybody clap your hands oh oh oh oh)
 Oh oh oh oh

 [Chorus x2] 'Cause everybody's got something Something they cant hide
Let it out into the open Right here, right now
 Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
 (Everybody clap your hands now}
 Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
 (Everybody clap your hands oh oh oh oh)
 Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
 (Everybody clap your hands oh oh oh oh)

Complete Change

After weeks of discussion, we have decided that we want to change our idea. Our old idea was just not working, our actor was unreliable and we found it very difficult to film as a group as we had limited time where we could use our destination. 

Our new idea is based on a psychiatric girl who has spent time in a mental institution. We are including shots that can be used to represent her past before she went crazy. We are also creating shots to show the character in the psychiatric ward and her in the real world attempting to fit back into reality. As a group we wanted to make our shots quick to highlight the confusion and up and down feelings our character may be feeling.
