Today was the first proper day of recording for our music video. Overall it went very well because as i am the camera women recording the video, i used close ups. establishing shots, extreme close ups etc because its a video to promote the artist.
We did have some issues such as having to hold the video camera as one part of the tripod that clips onto the video camera wasnt there. However, i kept my hand as still as i could.
Today we did learn to practise the shot before actually recording to see if we needed to alter positioning etc. Lighting was involved as i could see that the room was too dark, so when i actually recorded Yvette, we decided to turn on the lights so it will be clearer to see when Yvette comes through the door.
The issue of lip-syncing went quite well today as Yvette had learnt the song so knew the beat of the song and when the come in.
Yvette had to pretend to know how to play guitar and she doesnt know how to play. However we showed her a few tabs that she can show to make it more realistic. As for strumming, she couldnt fake it as it would look obvious and wouldnt look as effective. I told her to put her thumb and first finger together as if she was holding a pick and to just strum all the strings back and forth so it seems realistic. We looked back at it and it does look okay.
One issue i had today was when Sarah recorded from a different angle which has the banister bars infront of Yvette. We thought it would look effective and they think it does. However i dont think it looks as good as it could be. However this shot is good for a cutaway for when the instrumental is playing.
