Production of Music Video - Day 5 of Filming

Last Day Of Filming 

Wed 16th Nov , was our officially last day of filming. During this time we looked through our collection of footage and felt that we didn't have enough base track shots of the Artist singing the lyrics throughout , without stopping. In addition, I came up with the idea of incorporating more domino images within the song, as i felt it would look more effective and capture the meaning of the song . As a result we decided to film once more in G02 of the artist ' Messie M' singing the domino lyrics and as a group creating domino images to illustrate some of the song lyrics. To capture the base track shots , we required two camcorders. One to show the artist from a mid shot angle , the other used to show the artist at a different angle. In addition , we would use one of the camcorders to track the artists movement , get close ups of the artist and use it to get a close up of the domino images. 

By Day 5 . Myself , Messie M , became more confident in front of the camera when singing the lyrics. Whilst singing , I was able to get into character and add my own flavor to the song by adding some aspects of choreography. I felt this would add a fun element to the video for the audience watching. Whilst singing , I ensured  I gave eye contact to the camera to engage the audience when they watch the video.


Successfully I was able to do a run through of the base track of the song without any interruptions or any requirement to look up lyrics. We were then able to create the domino lyrics. 
We decided to create domino images to illustrate the following lyrics within the song :

'Rock my world into the sunlight'

'Dirty dancing in the moonlight'

'Every second is a highlight'

To illustrate ' sunlight' , we decided to create the image of a sun , by using yellow dominoes. We decided to draw the sun in the shape of a spiral in order for all the domino pieces to fall at once.

To show ' the moonlight' , we decided to create the image of the moon ,by using blue dominoes. We used the colour blue as it contrasted against the bright yellow dominoes used to illustrate the hot sun. Also, as blue is a cool colour, it gives a double meaning illustrating when the moon represents a sense as relaxation , seen  as cool , calm, relaxing in contrast  to the electrifying, fun , energetic sun. 

To illustrate ' every second is a highlight ' , I came up with the idea of using a clock to illustrate time. I felt it would effective if we shot different times seen on the clock , to give the clock a sense of movement. Through editing , we would merge all the shots together to show movement of time passing. To outline the clock we used red dominoes to make the clock stand out.

Successfully , shooting and the creation of the domino images worked out well. I feel positive that through the editing process, the music video should look effective and differ from the usual Jessie J videos.
