Practice Shots



I filmed a collection of shots that relate to the first few scenes of my music video. I used my iPhone 7 Plus to record the footage, so the quality doesn't match that of the quality of the camera I will be using for the final footage. In addition, I removed all audio from the clips as this is irrelevant for both the practise shots and the final product (as I will be overlaying music onto the footage). These shots are roughly inspired by the Shot List that I have produced, therefore they aren't in the exact order or style of the final product but as close to these as was possible in the time frame I had to film. These are for my own personal use to develop my ability to film and to create a materialised version of my ideas. Also, this was helpful in giving my actor an idea of how I want to translate my ideas from paper to footage.

We didn't use any of the props or costume that was planned as I wanted to focus this filming time upon the shots and confirm the continuity was correct, as oppose to including these finer details.

Lastly, I edited the footage on PremierePro - the same software that I will be using for my actual production. Doing so gave me a chance to revise the skills that I had learnt in the AS coursework. I then had a go at using some of the special effects features like reverse and time/speed duration alterations - something which I will be using for multiple shots in my final music video. I was skeptical as to whether this would work or not, but doing this confirmed that it would.
