Yesterday's Filming

Yesterday, I went filming in 6th lesson in school time and have now finished filming one of the choruses of the song. I filmed my main character on the bench and like my other filming, I filmed each shot of Ellie lip syncing twice and filmed 20 seconds of her without lip syncing. This would give me a variety of shots to edit with. For the shots of the bench, I filmed Ellie from standing behind the bench and then sitting on the middle, left and right of the bench. I decided to film it like this as for the chorus I am planning to edit these different shots together so the audience would see my main character moving and cutting from different positions around the bench, making the video more intersting. I also filmed each shot without Ellie lip syncing so it gives me extra footage and also I might use the footage in other parts of my music video. I also filmed her on the the left side of the bench and then the right side, giving me a variety of different angles in my video. I am planning to edit this part of the video so it cuts from different shots and positions of Ellie on the bench. I have not filmed using camera movements for the chorus as I am planning on using them for the verses of the song so it shows that contrast of the quick cuts of the editing of the chorus to the slow moving feel of the verse.

I also had some more filming to do for the shots of the swings for the end lyrics of the chorus, 'I got to let it go And just enjoy the show'. I am having my main character letting go of the swing so it reflects the lyrics and also having an empty swing swinging. I also filmed these shots yesterday and did it twice. I have already pictured how it might look like as I am thinkign of having these shots in black and white so it shows the change of mood. I am planning to add many effects when editing to make my video bright and colourful, giving it that contrast to the chorus and making my music video more interesting.
