Luna Lux: Draft 4

Today we have finally finished the basis of the first lot of editing. We have taken the shots from the first two scheduled filming days and made that into the basis of our music video. To expand on this we need to get feedback of what they like and what needs to be improved, so when we get to our filming days we can add it more which will hopefully make the music video more effective and more successful. We need to add in more filming days into our schedule so that we can shorten the long shots. This will allow our music video to be improved. Since we have the first basis done it also means that we need to start putting together our Digipak and website.

Luna Lux: Good Shots

Luna Lux: Bad Shots

These are the bad shots that we filmed during our shooting days. The first shot was bad, as the artist forgot the words of the song, which meant that we couldn't use them, because we needed to show that the artist knows all the words to the song. The second shot is because; the railing of the fence is covering her lips which meant that we cannot see the singing the song.  The next one is because again she forgot the words which meant that we cannot use the shot. The forth shot we didn’t like very much as it cuts off one of the horse head and it shows the fence of the garden which doesn’t make it look very professional.  The powder paints that it thrown over her the first time wasn’t very good as there wasn’t much of an impact that people got from it. When we filmed the next shot we didn’t realise that we were going to cut her cut off when she sat down, which made the shot bad, as it didn’t focus on the artist. The next shot is of her sitting at the table but when she is lip syncing she isn’t very in to it and very emotionless which doesn’t make this part look very good, so we re-filmed it so she got onto it more. The next shot of the horse head isn’t a very nice shot of the horse which doesn’t make the video look appealing, so we wanted to find a different way of showing the horses head. The last shot isn’t very good because, it’s been filmed the wrong way round, which means even if we flip in round to the right way it will not fit in with the rest of our footage, which wouldn’t make the music video very good.

This is behind the shots day two. This time we filmed in Grace’s garden as this would be more appropriate, so getting everything set up and would make it easier for us. Again this would be something that we can put on our website as fans are always egger to see what happened behind the scene of the new music videos.  It was difficult filming in her garden as we had to make sure that we didn’t get any of the houses in or any other aspects of her garden apart from the tea party.  We hope this shows how much work went into filming this music video, and how we constructed everything

First Edit - Luna Lux

This is our first draft of our music video for Luna Lux. This edit is still only rough and some shots are still quite long, but this gives us a basis of what we have achieved so far and what we need to do to go back and improve. For example we saw that our artist is very emotionless when she sings, to contrast this when we film our concept shots, we can have the singer being more passionate about the song which will give the music video a good variation. From having this already we can ask our target audience what they think of it, to see if we have got the message that we wanted over, and if it fits the song genre of it. The start of the song was quite hard as we weren’t quite sure how to start it as we had different ideas of what we should have but also, it goes straight in to the lyrics which means that we do not have time to build up the shots. 

Looking Back At Risk Assessment

After filming and looking back at the risk assessment, we managed to make sure that all the risks that we identified were kept at a low, this is shown through how the team and the artist wasn’t injured and didn’t get hurt. This was a success, as if we didn’t make this assessment that maybe we wouldn’t have looked for these hazards, which meant that someone could of got hurt, which would have resulted in our filming time being reduced, which was something that we really wanted to avoided on the second day of shooting as daylight was decreasing fast, which mean that we really needed to make sure that all of our shots were completed. If we were to do it again, maybe we should of had set everything up and walked the artist through what could be dangerous for her, so she knows automatically what to look out for, which will also help to reduce any injuries while filming.
