Photographs of filming and editing

Below are photographs of filming and editing, I have posted each image below and have talked about each individual image; these images are part of the production and post production stages of our final construction.

Filming:

The images above are images of the first day of filming, this exact shot is where the main actor (Jeremy) walks out of the door and puts his earphone on - I recorded this exact shot and I recorded two alternate shots; one shot was recorded on a tripod whereby i centred the camera between the door and the two wall, the second shot is a handheld camera where I was following Jeremy as he is walking out - you will see this shot in the final music video. All of our shots were recorded on the Canon 700D DSLR camera.

The images above are images that were shot in the village. This is the shot where Jeremy stops and receives the text from his girlfriend. As you can see on the right I am filming this shot, the shot was filmed on the tripod and I had to tell Jeremy exactly where he had to stop in order to look at his phone (this is where I edited the text message bubble). It was important for me to tell Jeremy where to stop because if I didn't he could of been out of the shot and his head would of been cut. I also told him to move to the left a little because I didn't want him being at the centre of the shot because the text message would have to be displayed on the right hand side. 

The images above were another running shot but in a different location - this is because we wanted to diversify the shots and allow the audience to identify a different sense of location to provide a sense of enigma; as audience will speculate and often ask questions such as ''where is he?" and "where is going?". As you can see the image shows that the tripod is positioned on the grass which is uneven, this meant that we had to extend one of the legs of the tripod to make the camera straight and look even. 

The picture above is a shot which was filmed in the canteen (cafe) where Jeremy the main actor is drinking coffee with his girlfriend (flashback). The video is colour correct with an 'aged' look so that the consumers of this music video can clearly identify that it is a scene prior to the argument. As you can see in the image we are using the man (Layole) in the picture as a point of focus to make sure that the shot isn't too blurry nor too dark. For this shot we lowered the tripod so it would match the length of the table we also recorded an alternative shot where the tripod was sitting on the table and you only see the girlfriend in the shot (POV shot).

The picture above is scenes from the performance based segment in the music video; this was recorded in the drama studio with professional lighting as you can see. We also used a tripod in the shot and turn around the LCD screen in some cases so I could see if I was in shot (without directly looking into the camera) because at times I would be jumping around to give emphasis on the performance itself. These images were also uploaded to 'Snapchat' which is a social messaging site; we done this to give our followers a sneak peak for our music video. 

Editing:

The picture above is part of the post production segment, this specific image is where I photoshopped a text message and put text over it to make it look like a text. In order to create this image, I opened a PhotoShop CS6 document and obtained an image of a text bubble; after this I added a text message which appropriate text message language i then exported the image but saving it as a PNG so the image will not have a white background and it can easily be exported onto the Final Cut Pro editing file.
