This week I have used camera and shooting equipment to produce a series of test shots in practice for my video. I attempted to use a large variety of angles and movements to explore various techniques I could apply to my coursework piece. The sequences consisted of simple, physical, non-dialogue scenarios which could be manipulated later in Adobe Premiere Pro. I filmed the footage using a HD camera and a tripod - which was needed to provide a smooth and professional quality. After the footage had been filmed, I loaded them into the editing software and changed time settings and reverse speeds to produce different effects. I also achieved a split-screen.
I have also discovered the 2009 Smirnoff 'Be There' ad campaign which is very similar to the idea of my music video. In particular, the video's costumes, lighting and location provided me with fresh ideas for my own piece. I would like to combine the idea of these masked individuals, revelling in the woods, with the idea of an 'Alice' like figure, being drawn into their gathering and becoming one with them.
