Filming - Looking back

Our first day of filming went particularly well as we got most shots of Connor done. We just simply played the song while Connor improvised and lip synced. This meant we had a set clip we could use to fill in gaps during the video. 

Our second day of filming, we decided to add the lip shots of Connor lip syncing. We thought these images were effective and thought it would set a good image for a possible digipak cover. We also filmed a few shots of our dancer. Unfortunately we ran out of time, and had to get back to upload our footage we had shot that day. 

Our third day of filming consisted of us filming more of our dancer and we also got some footage of a few other people dancing. However, this footage did not look professional once we had uploaded the clips, and it did not make the final cut. 

Although we thought we had finished all the filming, when creating our video with the footage we had shot, we realised we needed more variety in the shots we had filmed. For example, we chose to film Connor lip syncing the same part wearing different glasses. These shots turned out to be a strong point in our video. 

Another thing we remembered we had to film was the female vocals. We decided to use Jess in this part. We went to the green screen as we did with all the other footage and to start off with filmed just one angle of her lip syncing the song. However, once we had uploaded the footage, we realised we had a big space gap to fill, so decided to shoot the same footage but from a different angle to add variation in our video. This is also a strong point in our video.
