Today me, Alex and Zara went to Matt's house to do some filming.
We each took an instrument -with Zara filming- and played 'My Little Haunting' on repeat in order to get a wide variation of shots, doing it with the masks on and off, doing close-ups of band members and instruments and we think that we have got all of the performance shots that we need.
We weren't able to make a back drop for the performance area to cover Matt's "inappropriate curtains" but instead took them off to reveal some velvet curtains and hung some fairy lights from the curtain pole which we think looked nice and matched the light-hearted mood whilst also adding to the 'low-budget- indie music video effect.
We also lit lots of tea candles and positioned them around the performance area and though they weren't really seen in the wide shots of the performance, they were clearly visible in the low angle close ups and also when we filmed Matt getting up from the floor (a shot we plan to use at the beginning of the music video) and they also added a really nice light to the shots.
Another thing we managed to film was the last shot when me and Alex have our masks on and throw the sheet over Matt in order to turn him into a ghost. We experiemented with these shots, doing handheld shots, ones from behind, infront and also from the side so that when we edit, we have a lot to work from.
When we do the four way split screen we plan on having one of the quarters of the screen to be a shot of Matt walking down the stairs with the others being close ups of instruments but we managed to get shots of Matt on the stairs from lots of different and interesting angles and thought that maybe we could have alternate angles of Matt walking down the stairs appearing in time with the beat to the song and following the close ups of the instruments could replace these shots.
We were going to do the fridge shots today, with the head inside the cardboard box but we painted it and left it for a few hours to dry but unfortunately it didn't dry in time so we're going to do that another time.
