Filming Dancers

Filming Dancers

In order for me to get a realistic background for my two actors to look like they were training for dancing I had to book time in the evening to use Aldenham Schools facilities of the dance studio. To display the idea of time passing I started with their costume being casual to show that the characters were more relaxed.

After I finished shooting the dancers with casual clothes I changed the costume into more formal wear this was to create the atmosphere that there was a show/ performance they were building up towards throughout the video.

 

 
The use of the dance studio gave me the opportunity to give my shots more variety. This was possible because of the wall that was a full mirror, this therefore meant that I could use their reflection as a mid shot. This gave my video a unique idea because not many people was using mirrors within their music videos.

Editing

When starting my editing, I started with the photo-age from the sunrise, displaying my artist. This gave me a rough idea of which parts of the lip sinking I intended to use. I have tried to use as much of a variety of long, close up, and mid shots as I could while editing the main artist. Because the back ground of the artist is similar throughout the song its fairly subtle when changing the shots. I found that this was helpful because it therefore didn't draw to much attention to the change in sensory.Such as the change of position of the clouds in the sky.
