Filming - 3

To make my video not just a showcase with my artist I intend to film dancers ballroom dancing within a studio to create a cross between a show case and narrative. I am filming today to get a variations of shots, over the shoulder, high angle, low angle and panning shots. This taken me longer then expected to do because I have had to discuss times with owners of the dance studio to have it free for my filming but hopefully I will finish all of my filming by the end of the day.

I am hoping to get shots of them practicing their dancing and then to fade into their dress rehearsal. This is to represent that passing of time. However I am also intending to have a tragedy at the end of my music video to leave the audience with a sentimental effect.

Because the weather was unpredictable it took me a couple more times to get the right shot for my Showcase shots, but fortunately i got very lucky and got a better shot then my original plan. I decided that more effective shot would be a siloet. This is because I feel that it symbolises the words of the lyrics "We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves"

 using "We"  represents that 30 seconds to mars are not directly talking to or refering to an idividual but to the whole populations. So i feel that using a siloet is suitable because he's within the background and not singled out showing that everyone is involved not just him.

I aimed to film early this morning, this was to
hopefully film in time with the sunrise, in order to get the right shot of my artist. Unfortunately the weather was not what was expected or what i was hoping for. However instead of not filming my artist, I took good shots which I can use within the first 30 seconds of my music video. 

 This shot establishes where my filming is taken place, also with this shot mixed in with others that are filmed in the same place which are also taken at dawn. This is to represents the songs lyrics;
"The age of man is over
A darkness comes at dawn
These lessons that we've learned here
Have only just begun"
