Over the weekend I went to the chosen location and took a variety of shots to show the rest of the group the location in detail. The shots of the location look really effective and I believe we can achieve our vision by using this location i.e. grundy and deserted. Here are several of the photos which I took, I sent Jack all of the photos and we created a slideshow on his 'Macbook'. 
I believe that this location will look effective for our own music video because it looks deserted and grungy. The positives to filming at this location is that we will not be interupted by individuals as it is 'off the beaten track' so therefore it will be less likely for individuals to get in the way of filming.
The large open space can work both positivly and negitivly. Positivly in the sense we have a large areas to film, the set will not look cluttered and squashed however the negative side to the location is that we will need vast amounts of people to create a 'party scene' or it will look empty. A further negative to the location is that we will struggle to get an light inside the barn so therefore the video may end up looking too dark. However to overcome the darkness issue, we can use one of the other barns
which is more open so therefor allows more light to enter the barns, for example the barn to the right allows alot more light than the other barn (Images at the top of post).
We need to film on a bright crip day to ensure we have enough light for the shot to look clear and effective, this is a crucial element to creating any type of video.

excellent. posts such as these will help your blog achieve the highest marks. you've chosen a really interesting location. it will work now depending on how well you dress the set (mise en scene) and how you frame your shots (shot choices indicsted on your storybosrd).
ReplyDeleteI concur most heartily Mr Ford. Currently this blog is a credit to all three members. What is most impressive is the level of thought which has gone into highlighting potential issues. At all times remember mise en scene! Simple yet stark composition is key, keep the camera tight to the subject to ensure that there is little room for the viewer to be distracted from your core area of representation.
ReplyDeleteYou may wish to experiment with lighting techniques, the more reflective surfaces the better. A large mirror or reflective surface off camera will add much needed light to a scene.
