Filming

                                                           Filming Our Music Video

Tomorrow our group is going to start filming our music video. We plan to film for the majority of the day and aim to complete filming over the weekend. We shall go to various different venues for filming such as gym's, parls and our houses so that we are able to make our story board images come to together. The video below is a video we have found recently of a USA weightlifter, Kendrick Farris. The video contains lots of short motivational clips of the athlete whilst he trains.

As portrayed from the video, many black and white clips are used for additional visual effect for the audience, the shots create great tension and makes the video more dramatic which would work well for our video too.

I have taken screen shots from the video of our favorite clips of Kendrick Farris working out. The camera angles and shots portryaed in the pictures below are the ones we plan to do similarly in our music video as we think the clips and shots would suit our music video and song choice well which is an important factor to consider.

Shot Ideas

To the left are the shot ideas we have taken from the motivational video of Kendrick Farris. As you can see from the screen shots of the pictures taking from the video, the blcack and white clips of the athlete training look great and would work really well with our theme. I particularly like the top left one of him doing Triceps Dips and the top right one of the Plate being put on the olympic bar. The fact that the shots are in black and white too makes the clip seem more dramatic and works better than a standard coloured clip. This is an example of where editing can vastly improve a clip.
