Music Video - Second day shooting




On our second day of filming we finally had the right equipment for filming in Kings Cross and got straight to it. We first had to set up so we came around half an hour before Niah did to place all the cameras by the fountains.
The day was very cold and gave us a bit of difficulty to re-enact some of whats been put on the storyboard so some ideas such as her laying on the bench in front of the fountains was reduced to her sitting  the bench with her head down like she reminiscing. Other than that we also got some other shots that weren't in the storyboard like a shot of her on some of the steps that leads to the canal. and also shots of her walking under the bridge. 
Also we wanted a shot of her riding the swing by the station which was very tough as it got quite dark by the time we got there. we had a portable light but it seems that it wasn't as effective as we wanted it to be but we were able to get something. It was a very tough day of shooting as all of us were battling the cold weather and wanted to wrap up as soon as possible but other than that it was relatively successful.

Audience Theory - Jeremy Tunstall

Image
In class today we learnt about audience in the general media and we came across the audience theory created by Jeremy Tunstall.  His theory is the idea that all texts have preferred audiences as well as additional audiences which can be engaged. Here are some of the classes  of audience: Primary audience        Watching films in a cinema involves a primary mode of audience engagement as the spectator is immersed with the narrative.  So for your primary, target audience they will have bought the song/downloaded it and will consume your text in this way. Secondary audience        While watching a programme at home on television may involve eating a meal at the same time, texting, using social media or other additional activities. 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- Actress problem

Image
Today my group had a big problem involving our actress for the music video. Our main choice Mia just told us that she doesn't want to do the video anymore. Of course this was a big problem as it was very unexpected and so close to our filming date. We need to find a replacement actress on a very short notice or else we can't film at all.

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...
