Shoot 2 reflection

For our second shoot at Pleinmont, we filmed a more dark themed shoot and I personally think it went really well. It was great to get so much more footage to put into our video.

What went well:

  • We got a diverse range of shots and different locations which aided our music video theme as we were trying to get a more creepy dark side of the artist.
  • We got a lot more of the lyrics to the song filmed so that we can have a clean transition from light to dark
  • The lighting was perfect and we got some unique looking shots just from natural sun light as well as a red and blue light which was similar to a police light.
  • The main star was able to look a lot more menacing and evil in this shoot with the help of her black leather outfit as well as the fake blood and shovel which went with our murderous theme.

What could have gone better:

  • We could have made sure she knew the lyrics a little better so that it was less stressful for us in post production
  • We could have experimented with angles more like close ups and long shots
  • Perhaps it would have been better for us to have some actual studio lighting to make it easier for us when it got a bit darker.

Moving on, we will edit the video more to create a second draft as well as have a few more shoots to get some more looks and perhaps build more on the narrative side as we only have performance at the moment.
