Shooting (Day 6)

Today shooting took place in the media lab of my school. I filmed the performance clips of Sheece. A green screen was set and illuminated using two YN300 LED flashlights mounted on tripods (that were set at 45 degrees from the center.) The distance of the tripods aways from the green screen was adjusted to remove shadows of Sheece on the green screen. Another flashlight (mounted on a camera) was shone on the actors to brighten them up in the shot. 

I borrowed a microphone, microphone stand, and an electric guitar from the music room. I directed Sheece to lip sing to the song that was played on the speakers. First I told him to perform on the song as it is. The second time I made him lip sing to the same song that I had slowed down to 50%. This would allow me to speed the clip to 200%, causing his movements to become fidgety and his lip movement to be in-sync with the lyrics of the song in its original pace. This technique is opposite to the one I carried out in my practice video. (https://youtu.be/gLMcL-O3KKc).

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene.  Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way.  We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

SCREENING

Once the music video was finally made, I was dying to see the audience reaction. Not just online but in real life too! The feedback I got was very positive and gratifying. The best part was showing the music video to the actors, who were amazed by the edited version of the clips they remembered shooting.
