Making Our Prelim Overview

For the prelim, our group decided upon Kate Nash's video for her song Foundations. First off, we story boarded the opening 40 or so seconds of the video to ensure our shot composition was as close to the original as possible. We filmed the second half of the video first in Julia's house, where the lighting was initially a problem. However changing camera positioning that direct natural light was either avoided or coming from behind the camera. This is something we paid extra attention to at AS and will even more so at A2. The entirety of the video is lip syncing meaning the accuracy of shot length and general timing of movements was really important. Throughout filming we have had the video playing in the background and Emma actually singing along. In editing we've taken the audio off and had the song added back over the footage. Mise en scene is the area in which we had to adapt and find objects/locations as similar as possible to the video. When we make our own music video we will have a lot more freedom with this. There's still a few little bits to finish editing and then hopefully it'll be done.
