Video shoot - band peformance

This video shoot was for our first band performance.

From our research we carried out , we noticed that indie bands music video have some band performance in their music video. This is because I believe they want to share and show their skills they have as it's their music they sell not that much focused on their image like pop music. Therefor we wanted to have a band peformabce element in our music video. To decide who goes with what position , from the photos we took of us in different roles and the results we got back showed us that this was the Perfect set up.

Booking

This week we had to book the drama room and book the equipment from the music department bellow are emails conferming both we also booked it for an additional 2 more weeks infront.

In this music scene we just done the first verse as we feel it be easier to break it down by with each session with a verse.

We went through the song many if times as we wanted to get the verse done in as many different shots and angels as possible. Firstly we focused just on close ups of the lead singer and what heels is having the lyric and song playing for him on the imac. Next we done individual shots of the band members such as the drummer guitarist and base. We struggled on how to perform the instruments as we don't play them and we know it need to look realistic. We don't abit of research before hand but we still struggled but done it to the best we would but it was difficult. Finally we done wide shots of the whole band. The reason we done so many of everyone is because in band performance scene they are cut short to be exciting and fast paced to go with the music , they are a band so they need to show everyone , so we had to cover the performance in all aspects and angles.

Overall I am happy with this performance I feel like we done the best we could be being it is our first time we could do better next time , as we was wasting time in trying to figure what shots to do. We looked at music videos as we was there to give us more ideas so that enabled us to work better next time as we got a more undertanding. The drama hall was perfect as it was black and had the lighting so we played around with that to give it the best effect we could.
