PERFORMANCE FILMING

Here we have done more filming for band shots in our video. We experimented a lot more with interesting angles and shots of the band playing such as the image above. This shot shows an innovative way in which the band is shown from behind to add to our alternative theme.

MAGAZINE ADVERT DRAFT

Here is our magazine advert made on photoshop it matches our continuing theme of surrealism, colour and playfulness. With the bright strong pattern used it attracts the eye and makes it more aesthetically pleasing. The colourful televisions are also used in our video making a link between the video itself and the new album advert. The playfulness is shown through the band members as they are smiling and laughing looking on at scalextric cars. This also links in well with our video.

SECOND FILMING

Today we did more band performance filming shooting close up scenes of the guitar and drums playing. We will cut these into the song to make it more fast paced to match the music. We feel the filming could of gone better and next time we aim to focus on more close up shots of the lead singer. We are also planning to film the chorus again with the coloured cards.

SCALEXTRIC SHOOTING

Today we did the shooting of our Scarelextric idea, we set up the digital scarelextric and shot the cars going around the track from low angles and high ones. We want to fit the scarelextric shots into our video to match with our colourful and playful theme. We have added to the colour by placing a green rug underneath the track. We want to speed up the shots of the scarelextric in the video to compliment the fast paced music.

SCALEXTRIC IDEA

In todays lesson we came up with a new idea for our music video. For the lyric "and play super Scalextric" We want to emulate this childhood game by setting up out own set of Scalextric. We want to shot a scene of the cars going around as we can also fit them into other parts of our song. It also fits into our playful theme through the video.

CONSTRUCTING NOUGHTS & CROSSES

Today we got together our noughts and crosses cut outs and coloured card to shoot the scene to go into our music video. We made a high angle shot with strong lighting looking down onto the cards. With primary colours these strongly link into our current themes of the video such as our playful element. and also our digipack. We got band member to place down the noughts and crosses and then edited it to speed the shot up so it adds a quick fire effect along with playful themes. We also experimented with reversing the shot so that it adds to the fast paced music and verse.
