Song choices

In my group we have to decide on a song that we would like to sample and make a music video out of. One person in my group suggested a slow moving melodic rap called "Vice City" by Biig Piig. Another had another similar idea that he suggested wasn't as good as the rest of ours so ultimately decided to step down his idea for one of ours. Mine was an Alternative/Indie style song by the name of "Daft Pretty Boys" by the Bad Suns. Only one of ours can be picked and we must decide very soon.

Here is the song I chose that we are considering:

Your secondary audience may be interested, but they haven’t bought the single. Tertiary audience        Tertiary audience engagement is using the text as background media like ...

Music Video - Fourth day shooting

Image
On the fourth day of filming we went to my schools music department and shot in just one room in  which had all the technical equipment that we wanted to use and play with. This was a new scene we wanted to film so wasn't in our original storyboards. We wanted to use this room for a scene where Niah's supposed boyfriend in the video is making her the song. Niah wasn't needed in the scene, we just used one member of our team to act. We mainly focus on his hands fiddling with the dashboard other devices around the room. The difficulty was mainly in some of the movement in the shots as the gimble wasn't available so we use a shoulder mount instead using the cameras handheld. So scenes such as the boyfriend walking into the music room was hard as we wanted to follow behind him whilst doing it. Since it was a bit dark we also used some lighting from around the room and one of our hand held lights to cover the scene. Other than that it was mainly still shots of bli...
