Performance Filming

Plan:

Our next step was to film our singer/songwriter Josh Embury performing the song. We wanted the location of this performance to be perfect and correctly portray the rural and cut off feeling we felt would match the lyrics of the song. Here are a few pictures of benches that we found:

After extensive loaction research into the rural locations we found a bench on Brandon Hill, Bristol that would perfectly contrast to the city, also the colour scheme of autumn we thought would create a nice warmth to the shot furthermore deepening the love of where he is compared to that of the inner city life.

Filming:

Unfortunately I was unable to attend this filming session due to work commitments but Mattie and Pete were both there. They knew what needed to be achieved before they set off and this then enabled them to get straight on with the filming. They sat Josh on the bench with his guitar and set up an ipod and speakers for him to play along to, helping and ensuring his timing matched that of the songs. They filmed the whole performance from three different angles, this giving us different variations of the performance to keep cutting back to. Each angles had two takes, both for Joshs' benefit of performance and also ours for during the editing process of having choices to be able to choose the better shot overall.

Photographs:

Not only did they film the performance they also decided to take a few still photographs to help us to begin thinking about possibilities for our auxillary tasks. These came out really well, and so with a bit of editing we were able to create some really strong images to represent the artist.

Next Step:

To import and begin the editing of the performance footage and to film more inner city shots to cut away to during the music video.
