Production Overview

After researching our elements and creating a strong/ perfect pre-production pack for our music video to incorporate them in our production, I believe that our production was very positive and successful.
It was successful due to our organisation, such as the things we need for our music video were made to be sure that it was ready before the shooting day. For example making sure the camera battery is fully charged for the day/ making sure the equipments were ready on the side/confirming that everyone will be at the locations a bit earlier by couple of mintues to get everyone in position and set up the equipments on time. From my experience, it made our production more effecient. This means it has surely saved us time from pressure/stress.

During the process of filming, we remembered from our last years AS preproduction research of different angle set ups and their meaning, we decided to incorporate and tweaking our shot by shooting from lower angles of our actors to make them look more empowered and important.

We decided to have extreme close ups to make it very clear to our audience for our intentions of Andrew Goodwins theory, which was to match visuals to sound. For example, we filmed extreme close-ups, focusing on the handmade instruments of our actors performing and perfectly syncing with the music. Furthermore, extreme close-ups give a perfect good depth of field, which fits the style of music, also makes our music video effective and appealing to our audiences. 

During filming of both of our location, we made sure that we incorporated establishing shots, this helps to convey and identify the two different settings of our band (performance location in Nordern Farm) and our main artist (bedroom location) to our audience. Though it was challenging and difficult to capture a perfect wide/ establishing shot without having it to be a flat shot. We tried to get a depth of field in shot but it was difficualt as the camer lense was focusing on the whole shot it self.
We tried to challange this difficulty to help us to create depth throughout our music video, so we we decided to alter our bands positions by having our lead singer infront of the band and followed by the two guitarist in a line behind the lead singer and then finally followed by the drummer behind the two guitarist. It made the shot slight more efficient, though, however it was still quite flat from a wide shot.
