Christmas holiday filming.


Yesterday I did some additional filming. Having a whole two weeks off, I decided to take out a camera to film some more footage, particularly some more footage of me singing to add some more visual variety. I was hoping for some snow to add to the sense of visual variety,  but there has been no sign of it, and still no sign on the weather forecast.  On the brighter side, I have had a look at the footage at home and I am very pleased with it. I think it will finalise the music video well. The next step when we get back from the Christmas holidays, is for me to upload the footage, add it to the rest of the music video and finalise it with some more editing techniques.

New Filming Schedule

I have come up with some more ideas. I am thinking of filming a sequence in a balcony to place in the beginning of the music video, and the end. The shot will consist of me sitting on a balcony reading a book, until a picture of her ex-boyfriend falls out, and triggers her memories. The reason I am planning on filming  the balcony is because it will show her status at this point in her life now that she has escaped the oppressing and saddening relationship. I am also going to film some more shots of me singing as I believe it lacks a good amount of lip-syncing which would be beneficial in highlighting that it is a music video, rather than a short film. The shots will be of me singing in the mirror to imply that she is trying to persuade herself to leave, and arguing with herself about her departure.
