We decided to film the performance element of the music video with him sat on a bench with nothing much around him to symbolise the isolation of where he is compared to within the city. We went down to The Lake-grounds in Portishead and found that on Battery Point there were many benches. We wanted to choose one that didn't have anything around that would distract from the performance. In the end we decided upon one that was just at the peak of the hill.
Shooting:
For the purpose of the rough cut Pete stepped in to perform the song in place of our actor, Josh. Due to weather difficulties we couldn't film at the time of day we had intended and so this arrangement was made. We took along with us:
- 1 Video Camera
- Tripod
- Still Camera
- Ipod and Speakers
- Guitar (for performance)
We wanted to record this performance in 3 different shots:
- straight on medium close up
- side on close up
- low level
Therefore we had to run through the song 3 times. The process for filming was that we played the song on the speakers to ensure that Pete stayed in time, and also to enable us to know where in the music we are, this will help especially during the editing process.We allowed Pete to have 1 run through, to get used to song and performance elements within it. After this we got straight to recording. Whilst recording Mattie and me stood by and alerted any passers by of what was happening, making sure they weren't in shot.
Next Step:
The next thing for us to do is import all the filming achieved from this day into I movie and start the rough cut editing process.
