Construction/Production: Final Session

On March 23rd, I continued with the production process and collated the rest of the necessary footage that will be included in the final edit of my music video for "Selfies". 

I was able to facilitate the theatre (my filming location) considerably earlier than my first filming session - this meant that I could set up the props, lighting and get my actor into place in a much quicker amount of time. In addition, I referred to the shot list that I created a lot more which aided the process considerably. Plus, my actor, Lydia, was more comfortable in front of the camera during the second production session and needed little direction from me and I had less footage to film - the shots I needed to collate took much less time to film.

Due to these factors, I had more time to document the production process:

This is the shot list that I created for the filming session - this way, I could tick off each shot after I had completed them. Also, I categorised the shots into what medium I needed them for, whether it be the music video, CD Digipak or Music Magazine Advertisement.

I have just set up a close up shot of my actor. She is standing against the white backdrop with two light boxes, one each side of her.

These images show Lydia posing in front of the camera, completing the "3, 2, 1" countdown, where she conveys the number through gestures. During post-production, these individual shots will be edited together, one after the other in sync with when the lyrics "Three, two, one" are sang.

After completing a shot, I proceeded to check it off on my shot list.


In these two images, I am taking photos of Lydia that will be used in my CD Digipak.
Now that I have completed all of filming, I can continue with the post-production process.
