Filming in the Studio:

On tuesday we reviewed our music video and what we needed to do in order to complete our final first draft. We realised that in order to get a wide range of shots and to fill up minor gaps in our video we needed to film more, and we had the idea of filming in a professional studio in order to achieve the performance aspect for our video. We also decided to film a section of our video in a studio as it is conventional for the indie theme as it shows musical raw talent, which is emphasised by the lighting and body language of the artist.

The studio consisted of a dark grey/black screen and we had 2 high key lights pointing towards Sam from both the left and right direction. We did this in order to light up the whole of sam to achieve a flawless image as well as to contrast with the dark screen; we were not sure if this was going to work but when we filmed several shots we realised it did work and did achieve a professional look as well as having a  music video feel to it, especially for the indie genre.

Filming in the studio enhances the musically raw element to our music video and therefore engages our target audience, of young/indie adults that appreciate musical talent as well as a quirky twist.
