The Killers

This is a video i watched during half term and we didnt no it existed other wise we have used to influence our ideas as this does have similarities to our footage. and may try use some of the effects in this video in ours. well c. weve only got a week left to edit and half way through we hope we finish.

ROUGH CUT

We tried putting it on but some how wouldnt work. it was a short rough cut anyway as didnt have much time after uploading footage to edit, but the intro was done with the diegetic sounds setting up turning amp on putting mic on stand, picking mic up etc, cranked down with a slight filter on them.

Filming

On weds we went to the location in bourn and filmed for 5 hours of our time to get as much footage as possible we ended up using all of the tape up. Me (polly) and ollie filmed for 5 hours and ollie bought all of the costumes and band equipment we did have a slight problem with a guitarest short but we worked around this. Also the battery went and had to keep connected to the plug so couldnt have as much freeness and movement with the camera and couldlnt do wide shots.I had to film all as ollie performed, overall we worked around the problems and got on with it. the lighting was good as and created shadows.

Location

Polly has found a location which we are going to use...we are going to use a metal farm storage warehouse, which is in Cambridgeshire, Bourn it is her friends farm but the warehouse was empty and when me and ollie went to film in it it was pretty much empty with high celins metal walls and concrete floor with good lighting and electrics it was exactly what we were looking for this was a success.

storyboard animatic

This is our storybourd

These are some of our test shots...we filmed these to see what they would look like and we played around with the filters...this is what we would like it to look like.

Lighting

In our music video we want to keep the lighting dark but will ad slight filters on to the footage to make this effect but we are going to use a lamp which we make the lighting dark.

Shots we are USING!

The shots we want to use which i have planned out are;
The running shots which i will use the camera clamp and attach it to a trolley and film in front of the runner and behind we will decide on this when we try and test it out.
Weve done test shots of the chorus scene which is of the side of the face using the rule of thirds. showing only the nose and mouth.
i have researched some shots for the guitar and want to use low to high shots using the strings of the guitar to show leading lines. and also high to low shots.
we want wide angled shots of the band which will be low floor shots looking up at the band members and high shots so we will need a ladder.we are going to try and experiment with movement shots because atm we dont no what were looking for. but i have planned some but need to test them. from low to high again with smooth movements. we now what were looking for.
another is a side shot of the face and microphone and also front view with movement from the singer.
I also want to do a shot of the guitar player shoulder with the guitar and this will take half of the shot but the other players will be shot also in the background. we will experiment with the drum shots.

the lighting will be dark so the performers will be mainly lit.

Pol

This is a good example of the angles we want of the guitars which we will create...especially if we have a dark background from the lighting we set up during filming..

Comberton Village College

I (polly) have got in contact with comberton village college to see if we can use one of their drama rooms to film in as i used to attend the school and know that they have good new facilities in use. They contacted me back and said we could use it if we like and to get back to them this was are back up plan if the other didnt fall through. The room would be black this is why i wanted to use it.
this is the website for the college

Looking for a location

For the video, we have decided on a quite an open space that is inside i.e metal barn, aircraft hangar for the band to perform in. Either one of these would be ideal, however, these places are very hard to find and its even harder to persuade the owner to allow us to shoot our video there. We may have a location that we could use to shoot the performance although the space might not be an open as we had hoped.
