Diary of a Day's Shooting (Scene One)

On the 23rd October we completed our first day of filming. We decided to film the "white background" shot, which is the main shot that requires the most precise lip syncing.
 

We chose a white background because we wanted the attention to be entirely on our main character. When it comes to editing this shot, we will make the backgorund brighter, in order to keep the attention focussed on Amber and also make the quality of the video better.




This is a shot of Amber miming the song. We decided to take two long shots, where we just played the song the whole way through whilst Amber mimed all the lyrics, and three other shots of just the chorus and one main verse. By having a wide range of shots, we have enough footage to complie our video and extra in case we need.


This shot of me filming the scene also shows Amber's costume. She wore a vest top with no sleeves yet we only filmed the top half of her body, so only her shoulders and face are visible. We decided on this to add voyerism to the video, as this was one of the main aspects of the codes and conventions of a pop video. In terms of shooting, we had Amber look straight at the camera to empasise the voyerism aspect of the scene.
