Test Filming

I did some test filming to show where my music video will be taking place. This task also allowed me to play around with the camera and see exactly how it worked. It also allowed my to judge what kind of quality the camera had.

SHOOTING SCHEDUEL

Shooting Scheduel

Creating a shooting schedule allows me to carefully organize my timing and plan exactly how long I wanted to take when creating my music video. I have roughly estimated that all in all, this project will take me 6-7 hours. I want to spend at least 3 hours filming the narrative so I can get a variety of camera angles and shots; and I wanted to spend at minimum of 2 hours filming the performance.
This task has also allowed me to think about what props, costumes and filming equipment I need to get before I start my music video.

Fourth Song Choice

         Hospitals For Souls by Bring Me The Horizon

This is yet another favourite song of mine. I chose this song because it's dark, emotional and has a lot of empowering moments which I think will represent the story in my music video and the initial punk/grunge genre. I can also easily imagine my music video fitting in nicely with this song as it has some fast, rapid beats but then becomes more calm and slow towards the end before finally speeding up again. I think I can do a lot with my music video with this song in the background and out of all of the other songs I have chosen, this one is my most favourited. However, I am still unable to decided if this one is in fact the most suitable song as it may be slightly too fast and rapid for the style of my music video.

Third Song Choice

Highly Suspect - Lydia (Official Video / Dir. Cut) from pier pictures on Vimeo.
I chose this song because I like the rhythmic beat and I also think it has a slight grunge/rock style to it. However, unlike the previous songs that I had picked, this song is not slow and emotional but more heavy and hardcore. This hardcore style will go nicely with some aspects in my music video but may also look slightly out of place with others. For instance, went I used a slow motion effect to make the music video look more dramatic and emotional, the song may not go in the scene.

Second Song Choice

Creep by Radiohead
This is another one of my favourite songs. In comparison with Desert Song, it has a faster tempo but is still emotional and dark. I also think that the lyrics can relate more to my music video as my initial idea is to set my video around the story of 'Frankenstein' which is an unusual and creepy story. However, I'm having trouble really imagining my music video going to this song and I'm finding it hard to think of which camera angles will work in the appropriate place.
