Here are some of the photos of me filming and editing the performance:

Reflection:

The shoot went well in my opinion, we worked fast and crafty trying out different angles and ideas any time we could. We aimed to film the whole music video with the dancers and body guards on the Sunday at vale castle, we also filmed more narrative on Tuesday in the bath which creates the change in our narrative. On the day of our first shoot, it was very hot and our dancers and bodyguards were complaining in the heat since the men had to wear all back and hoodies. This impacted on how much we could do outside in our desired location. Despite this we managed to get a range of shots outside as well as up at the top of the castle. These included: close ups, mid shots, dolly shots, long shots, canted angles, low angles and Ariel shots. Overall the shoot was successful and I think that our Mise En Scene and camera techniques were all effective and worked well, we got so many shots so when we were editing we ended up having to cut a lot of the shots down.

For the bath scene shoot it went really well, great weather great lighting. Everything went as planned. It was perfect. It took a long time but it was worth it. We got loads for shots and ended up not using them all.

What went well:

• Our Mise-en-scene was effective to show that our star was in the right attire comparison to our narrative, as well as creating a sense of being ordinary and reachable for our audience as the clothes were quite ordinary
• Our decision for our star to be barefoot and in chunky boots was effective as it showed that she was down to earth and humble
• We got a variety of shots and used good techniques
• All of our shots were in focus

Even better if:

• We got more original shots to portray the individuality of the song
• We held the camera more steady since the first dolly we took was all over the place
• We need to start editing to the beat of our music to create a more professional look
• We need to make sure that our star knows the lyrics so we can re-record the lines she didn’t know

Targets:

• Get some more shots that vary the angles of the shots
• Get some more steady dolly shots – the ones we got were jolty
• Edit to the beat in our editing
• Use different paces of edit in our editing
• More close ups
