Filming

I filmed the majority of my music video at home where Adam lip-synced the lyrics of Neil Halstead’s Paint a face. I filmed on a sunny weekend deliberately to enhance the song; it is typical of songs of the acoustic genre to be filmed in this fashion as it relates to the tempo and mood of the song. Other scenes of the video were shot at St Ouen’s bay. Using the sand dunes and the views overlooking the beach below.

The time-lapse style shots were filmed at various places, the sped up cloud shots were filmed overlooking St Ouen’s bay, in total I filmed for around 30 minutes on the same shot, and when it went to editing I increased the tempo to 2000%. The driving scene was shot at various places from all around the Island of Jersey, again the tempo of these shots were upped to around 1000%.

In total there was about two hours of footage after filming, which meant that I met my original task of having excess footage. I don’t want to get to the stage and editing where I don’t have enough footage, and have to go out and take some more. This will just be inconvenient so it makes sense to get it all over and done with early on so I can concentrate of the editing.

A few problems did arise through filming, on a few occasions, circumstances arose which meant that filming had to be postponed. My original idea of filming in prior to the winter holidays had to be scrapped due to snow and poor weather. I then fell ill over the Christmas holidays, which meant that I couldn’t blog or film anything.
