Production: Filming Review

I shot my entire music video within four arranged days. I decided to film across a range of days because each of these sections I filmed were different sections in my film. Both myself and my actor worked around each others time tables and on the days I needed to film the lake scene we chose a day where there was a clear sky and no rain. Overall, every shooting session was successful and I followed my narrative and clearly directed what I wanted to be done within each shoot.

After organizing the days with my actor, I informed him on what I wanted to film and the items of clothing I wanted him to bring with him (this was specific for the kitchen scenes where I had to re shoot him doing similar actions in different clothing to portray the changing days). Breaking up the days enabled me to create an organised structure that allowed me to follow my narrative in the best way possible.

After the first cut of my film I sent a link to my actor so he could see the process of the music video and the edited clips. Placing the footage in order and changing the saturation and colouring of the clips developed the quality of the film. Receiving my first lot of feedback from the actor who featured in my music video gave me an insight to what my music video looks like to an audience that hasn't seen it before. It also enabled me to place a higher achievement level to gain my intended audience interpretation.
