Shooting day

This is the equipment that I used on the day of filming which included: the light, tripod, camera, surrounding camera light and background pop up.
This is the outfit for the window sill scene.

This was the first scene which I filmed beginning 'honey, honey'. As I had 5 windowsills to choose from I tested this shot on two different windows and with/ without the main light. My final/ favourite position was the first window along and with the light.
This is the second scene I shot, which was the wind effect scene, which began 'baby,baby'. Again I completed this shot from various distances and angles, with and without the light. My favourite shot was with the light and the camera tilted as in the photo to the left. The light in this scene gave a glow type effect.
This is the outfit for the wind scene.

This was Fran doing one of the group shots, which consisted of using the screen with a light positioned behind it for added brightness, which needed to hit just behind her head. I then placed the camera in a still position in order for Fran to complete her lyric line.
This scene was completed at the David Lloyd in Chigwell, where I filmed in the yoga room. This scene began with lyrics 'baby it's you' (second time). I made use of the lighting at the bottom of the wall, although this gave problems with focus which I resolved by selecting Stefi on the camera for which was the main point of focus. I completed this shot multiple times, with the camera remaining in the same place with Stefi moving along the room. This will then be merged together, like that in the countdown video.























This is the outfit for the editing scene, with the long black boots which I wanted to use.
















This was the dance routine shot, which was shot in a room which was wide enough for Stefi and dancers to move enough, but it was also plain black. I completed this shot in 5 different takes all filmed on the same day, but any transitions which I had forgotten to do i.e. a pan to the right, had to be added in once I began editing.
This is the outfit I chose for the dance routine shot, although the boys were both only wearing trousers and shirts to look more coordinated. Stefi wore a silver/ white dress.
 This was the outside shot which needed to take place whilst it was dark. The outfit was chosen to fit with the outside theme, but given the weather it was necessary to be able to film the entire shot all in one night. For this shot I used glitter  eye shadow which would show up in the darkness, as well as a bright light to further highlight it.

Group shots/ Lyrics

As part of my music video I will involve various males and females lip syncing to Beyonce's Love On Top, I will need to allocate which lines will be sang by which people but to do this I will be filming some OR all lines being sung by all actors and the best actors singing each of the lines will be chosen. This will involve those who sing the line the most appropriately or with the best character being chosen for the final video.

The following are lines which need to be filmed:

"They say love hurts" 0.45  (kirsty)

Transitions

"Bring the beat in" - lengthy introduction whereby Stefi will stop the music whilst dancing with the group before continuing on until beginning of next verse and thus location.

"Melt away" - pan from left to right as Stefi kicks legs the same way, transition into dance studio will need to be from left to right of screen also "now everybody".

"Come on baby it's youuu" - jumping up and down.

"You make everything stop" - stop music and pause camera.

"You put my love on top" - camera tilts up with help of Stefi pointing it up, holding it? and then tilts down at next location of "ooh! Come on baby".

"Again" - Stefi kisses screen getting closer, transitions into wide open space of outside area.

2nd "Nothing's perfect but it's worth it" - spin from Stefi half way through to group shot spinning same way and finishing the spin. Either from front i.e. medium shot or from above, but I will need to consider what floor I will use IF I shoot from above.

"You're the one that gives your all --> everything stops" - clapping for Stefi and group shot.
