The Studio

In order to achieve the best effects within our music video, we spent most of our first session in the filming studio trying out different possible arrangements in terms of lighting and camera in order to create different shot compositions, which would help create a style to our video.

Lighting In the filming studio, there were four adjustable studio lights. We positioned these lights at different heights and spaced them

out behind, so that they created a silhouette effect over the drummer. This hid the drummers face and created an overall dark tone within the clip. We will then use this to contrast with the bright vibrant clips when we film outdoors. When we had set up these lights we decided to explore the possible shots we could use, within this particular composition. We created these different shots by positioning the camera in different positions around the drummer. From these shots we learnt that we didn’t have

to move all of the lighting around the studio in order to create different effects and by moving the camera around the lights, we could create more shots that would fit the style of our video. There was also a spotlight in the studio, which we also experimented with, in order to try and create more possible shots. We started off by creating a silhouette effect on a face, which we could the use for the vocal parts of the video, since we want the singers to be anonymous. We then pointed this light around the room, to try and see what effect this would have on the shots and whether it would add more style to video clips. Even though we liked the colours involved with the shot and we liked the aged effect, the light created, we decided that it did not fit our music genre enough and for the studio, it was too light. However, we still liked the silhouette effect we created earlier and then decided to try and add this to the shot to the current set up. This worked quite well and we then started filming

Camera In the studio there were different cameras and equipment we could use for our video. For our first session in the studio we used a Canon EOS 550D and a basic tripod. We set up the camera in different locations and positions around the studio in order to get different shots without changing the layout of the lights and drums. We then started filming and we were happy with the results however we realized that filming was very time consuming and therefore we need to plan effectively when planning our film.

Outside of the studio, each of us filmed a time lapse.
