On Thursday ( 25th November) we filmed the performance and intro to the music video at my house in the garden. Unfortunately after ringing around and visiting many schools, halls and public spaces, we could not get hold of a hall without it costing a lot of money. Despite this, we really like how the filming worked out as the dark, high contrast light from the garden with the vibrant green grass and hedge has given the footage a more creepy, odd feel which fits the rest of our film.
Filming in the garden had some difficulties as we filmed at night we needed to light it well. To do this we used two halogenated lights and had extension leads so we could move the lights about. They worked well lighting what we wanted whilst giving everything a nice effect with the black background.
We filmed the band section from lots of different angles and used lots of different close ups of the instruments and singer playing along to the track which we had on in the background. As well a filming the performance section we filmed the short sections at the beginning and end of the video which don't have music. These required the 9 year old girl Kester playing with a dolls house and putting money into a hat which started the bands performance.
Overall the filming was very successful and we have a lot of footage to chose from and edit with.
