Filters

Today we tested with some filters to get a better idea of what effects we can do on Adobe Premiere Pro.

Here we experimented with the blur filter. We may use a blur filter at some point in our video to show our main characters messed up view on things and disorientation, or we could even use it for some flashbacks.

The footage was originally dark so we attempted to brighten it up adjusting settings such as the brightness, contrast and sharpness. However this made the footage look too pixelated to be used in the music video. We may have to refilm this part or practice with other filters or adjust the settings on other clips to fit in with this one.  

Finally we practiced with changing the footage colour. We don't think we will use this in our music video as it doesn't fit in with our research and the rest of the footage that we have got. Furthermore it doesn't fit in with the genre or narrative of the music video.

Risk Assessment

Before we went out to start filming we put together a risk assessment so we had a better idea of what risks we could come across and how to avoid them as much as possible.

Test Shots

Over the past week, me and my media group got together to practice some shots which we could include in our music video.
We used a variety of different shots to try and fulfill some of Andrew Goodwins theory's.

Advice On How to Film a Music Video

Here is a video that we were shown which has some useful tips on how to film a music video. We are going to try and take some of this advice on bored when we start shooting for our music video.

Music Video of the Week

Twenty One Pilots - Migraine
I chose this video because of the camera work. In this video there is the use of handheld camera work which isn't common in most music videos. In our narrative we have a stalker, so we may need to follow him with the camera in this way. This camera work may be effective in our work because if we decide to include a running scene it will be easier to film. It may also make the video more interesting as it adds more camera movements.
