This evening, I took some more footage of Ben lip syncing when it was dark. We used an alleyway that is down the side of his house lit by a single street lamp. I made sure that he was dressed the same way that he was in the previous lip syncing footage in order to keep up the continuity. The street lamp amongst the trees gave off a nice warm light which will work well in our music video.
Another minor element that I think adds to the continuity of our music video was that it was cold and that you could see his breath as he sang. This can make it seem as though the music video is happening all on the same day as it develops from day to night which is what we were aiming for.
We also went on to film the final clip that we want for the ending of our music video in that we see that our artist also has someone that he is "better" with. We felt that this would add to our narrative and also enhance our message throughout our music video. We filmed this by setting up the tripod then I would walk up to him as we continue to walk up into the dark alleyway and fade away as I thought that this would be a nice ending to our video.
This took a few attempts in order to get the shot that I was looking for but by watching it back straightaway, I could instantly see what changes I wanted to make rather than waiting to get home and look at the footage on my laptop and see what I would have wanted to have done. I also ensured that he had his guitar on his back in order to continue selling him as a performing artist. Overall, I feel that it was a successful evening.
