Complete the studio portion of the music video.
The different setups we needed to do were:
A setup with alternating blue and red lights inspired by the music video for 'Tyrant' for Kali Uchi
A setup with a projector, projecting images and videos of kaleidoscopes and optical illusions. This was inspired by the video for 'We Found Love' by 'Rihanna'
A setup on a sofa with varying numbers of people on it inspired by the video for 'Stay The Night' by 'Zedd'.
A setup with the DJ deck and a stool which functioned as the main performance shot. This was inspired by various videos such as the XXL Freshmen Freestyle.
Reflections
Overall I think the studio shoot was very successful. We got all of the shots we needed and a wide range of extra cutaway shots and we also did it in a very speedy amount of time leaving us with a lot of extra time to spend trying out trickier shots and attempting to make them perfect.
I got to use the Canon 5D a lot more than I have in the past and as a result have become much more competent with the equipment than I used to be. I also have gained more knowledge concerning the sound and lighting desks.
We did run into some issues such as the lighting on some shots not being bright enough so they needed to be re shot and some shots dipping in and out of focus. We were able to resolve these by doing reshoots and effectively evaluating what we had shot and making sure that it was good enough. The vast amounts of extra time we had proved useful as it allowed us time to do this.
My contributions to the shoot:
- I did most of the camera work in the video.
- I made a brief cameo in some of the shoots
- I provided costume for the video.
- I directed the actors.
