Music Video Research- Beyonce 'Halo'

Lauren and I have been looking at music videos to get an idea of what we could do in our coursework. We began looking at professional ones to get a better insight.

We really liked the under water effect in the music video 'Halo', as well as the slow motion added to it. Although it may be difficult we would like to try and create something similar- possibly using a go-pro.
As well as this, we liked the idea of using dancing in our music video, so will therefore try and use this.
The white colour grading used over the whole music video made it look much more visually attractive as well adding to the tone of the song- therefore we would like to try and incorporate this.

Today, Lauren and I had our first filming day. We had planned to film all our shots, which were in front of the green screen. Initially we found it difficult to fit the whole of our actor in the frame of the camera as not only was she was moving horizontally across the green screen but she had her hands vertically above her head, making it difficult to fit the whole move in the shot. However we were able to easily and effectively solve this problem by moving the camera back during the filming and then cropping the screen during the editing process. When filming we made sure we used our storyboard so we knew exactly what we were creating, however we also filmed extra shots incase they were needed in the editing stages. These are some photos of Lauren and I whilst filming our first shots.

Lip syncing practice

Before we did both our preliminary task and real thing, we decided to practice our lip syncing on final cut, so we had experience using it when it comes to creating our real music video. We used the song 'Love story', by Taylor swift as we thought it was quite a popular song and also easy to learn.
