Filming Day 6

Tuesday 23rd October

We filmed the performance parts of the video, these were shot in the school hall after school hours. We used the lighting equipment so that it looked more like a stage and should look more proffesional even though the band was only during their school days. I think that filming went well as I managed to get a number of different shots from a wide variety of angles, with shots of the entire band as well as close-ups of the individual members. This should come in handy when we edit it together.

Mise-en-scene

Costume

Performance

The actors will be wearing casual clothing such as Jeans, T shirt and Converses.

These are generic conventions of rock.

Narrative

The actors will be wearing casual clothing. The male will wear jeans and a plain T shirt. The female will wear jeans and a top.

Lighting

Performance

Stage Lighting. Orangey yellow spot lights which will be focused on the drummer and guitarist. The lead singer will look silhouetted against the white backdrop. This makes all of the band members stand out to the audience at different times of the video depending on what angle the camera is at.

Narrative

Natural daylight for the scenes outside, natural daylight coming through the window for the inside scenes. This will help make the shots more effective than high-key or low-key lighting would as they don't take any attention away from the actual story line of the narrative. 

Actors

Performance

Lewis will be playing the electric guitar.

Kane will be playing the drums.

Setting

Performance
