Practice Filming

Here is some of the filming we did in the half term, Some bits worked really well and so we will be using them in our final video but some of them (as featured in this video) didn't work so well. We learnt alot and progressed through the day, but we also heavily planned what we would be doing but making sure we were prepared with many different projections to use.With the rest of our filming we know to use more angles, as in our practice filming and also in our projection setting we used alot of simple mid shot, this is due to the fact we wanted alot of emphasis on the actual projections and the fact that it looks artistic.
What we learnt from the filming is that certain projections don't work, such as busy shots (the sea) or dark shots (the lanterns). We still want the artist to be seen, and have performance shown and so because of this we could only use certain projections, the ones that worked best are the pink clouds and the light coloured sparkles. We found these most effective as they look good but you can also focus on the artist, we didn't want to distract from the fact that this is a music video.
We also learnt what looks good and what doesn't when it comes to the shadow shot. At first we wanted the shadow almost talking to the artist, after filming this a couple of times we figured it didn't look right, and so we made the artist walk into the shot as the shadow walks out. Below is what looks good compared to what looks bad. By making a clear comparison between what looks good and what looks bad we were able to learn what to put into our final video and what to not. With the filming we will be editing it very specifically to also make sure it looks good
