Vlog: Beach Scene

This is the behind the scenes for parts of the music video, most clips are for the main verses.

What went well?

The weather was good for the filming day, as we expected it to be raining. We arrived at the beach quite early so the tide was out, which was a perfect look for the music video, as we wanted a calm and serene scene for the background. We brought all the correct equipment in need for the day, so it went smoothly. We got the right shots, and more; so it was a very successful trip to Southend! 

What didn't go so well?

We only had a limited amount of time, so therefore we couldn't film as much as we would of liked to as we had school and it was the only day everyone was free. The smoke bombs were quite unreliable as we discovered- one did not go off when we pulled the leaver, so therefore that was a waste. We ended up using most of the smoke bombs, so we bought more. 

Vlog: Airport Scene

This is the behind the scenes also for the first part of our music video, filmed in Heathrow airport.

What went well?

We got the band's image spot on, as we planned the outfits in order to get the correct look for the journey. 

We got various footage, and different shots; we also took many unplanned footage, so that we could have a variety for when we edit the actual music video.

What didn't go so well? 

Due to filming in the airport, we tried not to film other people, as we wanted to focus on the band, so therefore it was difficult to get the correct shots. 

Vlog: Liverpool Street & Canary Wharf

This is the behind the scenes for the first scene of our music video, which is Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf. 

What went well?

We ended up getting the footage we wanted, with the correct shots, that we predicted would happen within the storyboard.

What didn't go so well? 

For the Liverpool street station filming the tripod was quite crooked, so we ended up having to hold it to film the footage. It was also very cold and windy outside, which made it difficult to film outside footage. 

Vlog: Screen test shoot

This is the behind the scenes for the Screen test shoot.

Music video inspiration

Here I have gathered a collective group of inspiration I have gained off of other artist's music video.

This is a gif, of the band The Neighbourhood's 'Sweater weather' video, they have used a projector to overlay previous clips from the video onto the band, in order to carry the whole concept in a whole different way by using scenery clips to relate it to the band. For the chorus, we would like to use the projector for the band scenes.

This gif are screenshots from Tom Odell's 'I Know' video, where he shot it, in a forest, with the light cutting through the trees, it is a nice scene to have for our video. 

This is from the band Years & Year's video 'Take Shelter', where they have used smoke bombs in the background, making it immediately colourful and vibrant which brings a fun atmosphere in the video, which is, exactly what I want to recreate. 

Beyonce's 'XO' video consists of her going around the theme park with a group of friends, which my group want to rein-act for one of our scenes in the amusement park. We want to film scenes on the bumper cars, as well as rides. 

Evidence of planning

Schedule planning for Sunday 16th November 
We have made a schedule in order for each group member to know exactly what to wear and what to bring. 

Evidence

This is evidence for the purchasing and booking, for the products and studio. It took a huge part of the process of making the music video, as we needed both in order for it to be successful.
