Music Video Pre Lim Task Filming

Today we went to the drama studio in school to film our music video. This is due to the fact that it is a black box studio and therefore, is effective for providing a blank background. There is a complex lighting system in this room as it is a space for performances. We took advantage of this to enhance our video. The shots we filmed are of our actors lip syncing in medium close up shots and clapping to the beat of the music. Our actors wore black tops and jeans for their costume as black is simplistic and not distracting for the audience of the video. We used a projection of a black and white swirl behind our actors in some shots to echo Ariana Grande's video as she also uses the same projection of this swirl. We projected it onto a white board as this is a clear surface. I believe that the shots we filmed were very effective due to the fact that our actors showed clear chemistry with each other. We want our music video to be attractive to teens and young adults and this is presented through the ages of our actors and the energetic, fast paced tone of the music video.
