Filming

During the half term, we filmed the shots outside during the day between 10am and 3pm while it was still light. We then headed to my house to film the shots inside against the white wall. 

We had to take the shots outside several times due to lighting issues as this had effect on the shots. We filmed the whole song more or less at different shots so we could use the layering effect. Also putting the make up on our artist to make her look the part and hair. Costume changes and we also used a steamer to create an effect for the inside shots. We filmed the inside shots before and our teacher said the make up was not dramatic enough so the second time round, we made sure her make up stood out.

Digipak ideas

The prop used, the make up, the shot all elements we want to include in our album artwork

The focus on her face with her being in the middle of the frame really sells the artist which will be a good technique to use for our artist as she is still an establishing artist. The text is simple but stands out. Her make up is sixty's and hippie. 

Solange Knowles, ethnicity/culture is betrayed through her style - the braids and the colourful headscarf.

Location

I thought it would be ideal as it is mysterious
and could be an interesting place to film.We could experiment with the colour grading of the trees to produce a similar effect like Emeli Sande's Wonder music video . in addition the place hardly has any pedestrians passing through so the filming process will go more smoothly .

This a brainstorm of the potential ideas for our music video using all the important/key elements of media.

Little Dragon

We have decided to re-create Little Dragon - Constant Surprise !


I was walking home
Looking at the trees
Got the feeling that they
Were looking back at me

Thoughts that occurred to me
Where not of the usual kind
And I don't take it granted no
I don't call them mine
I don't call them mine
'Cause in my life things
Are built on

Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate

Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate

The higher forces want to connect
Last night in my dream I was talking to you
You know who you are
Were you dreaming too
'Cause in my life
Things are built on
Are built on

Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate

Then on my way home I met this guy
He was not so shy
You know not that kind
We spoke then suddenly I could read his mind
You think it's mad
But I don't fool myself
You think its odd
'Cause in my life
In my life things are built on
They built on
They built on

Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate

Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate
