Filming at Town Hall

On Thursday 26th November 2009 we went to the studio to film our coursework in Shadwell town hall, during the day we managed to film alot of the musiv video.We had numerous camera shots such as:
1.Close ups
2.High angle
3.Low angle
4.Pan
5.Zoom in/Zoom out

The costume/props : we had our actors wear different style of clothing to represent people from different backgrounds.Eg Akram was dressed to look like a indie/rockstar with the glasses,shirt and jeans, Rezaul was dressed as a grime artist.The props that we used was glasses,mic and hat.
One of the problems we had during the day was that the camera wasnt charged properly, so we had to keep looking for a plug to connect the camera to.This limited us as to were we could place the camera and what we could do with it.

We have also booked another day to complete the filming for our media coursework.

21st November 2009 - Saturday

On Saturday we went to the studio based in Shadwell Town Hall, which we made a booking for 3 hours to do our Media Studies Filming, but when we arrived the person we made the booking with did not come as he ony works on weekdays so the other guy booked us in on Thursday at 2 p.m. we gave a deposit of £15 and when we go on the day we pay another £15. Due to bad weather we did not do any filming.

The studio situated in shadwell town hall is an ideal location for our music video. the reason why it is ideal to use a studio is because the majority of the scenes are shot in a studio.

November 20th 2009

today we are printing out the lyrics and printing off the letter of consent which we will give to people who will appear in the music video. with the lyrics on paper we would go around the college asking people to lip sync to our song.

I Got Soul - Young Soul Rebels

We have chosen a charity video called 'I've Got Soul' we have also researched similar types of video e.g. Band Aids charity song, and world cup songs, we have also started making our storyboards and we should start filming by friday.

Evaluation

The previous task done by the group was to complete the sweeding of a short clip from a music video called ‘No Air’ – by Chris Brown & Jordin Sparks. As the original clip was recorded over we had to create the clip all over again, which meant we had lost time on editing. Our main task was to construct an identical video from the help of the storyboard which was created by another group in the class. Everyone in the group took part in doing the camera work as well as editing.
