Yesterday (8th of October), I worked on a music video performing as one half of the indie/synth duo 'INFLUXX'. throughout the duration of the day I learnt a number of things that could help to make our music video run more smoothly, in the aspects of planning and being organised, and executing the video itself.
Firstly I learnt that music video's take A LOT longer to film that we first anticipated, on INFLUXX's directors plan, they estimated that filming would last 8 hours, it ended up lasting 11 and a half hours. I have learn to make sure that we allow ourselves enough time to achieve what we want to do. Also I learnt that, because of the long hours we were performing, me and Ellie (actors) and also the film crew, became demotivated towards the end and the efficiency in our working decreased. Taking this in to our music video, we need to construct a realistic plan of action for the filming day, have regular breaks and provide food for everyone in order to keep them motivated and make the final product as good as we can. Also the mobility of the lights and camera, being moved around the venue to film was very time consuming. However we are filming in a studio so this means we will only have to slightly alter the mise en scene each shot, thus eliminating/decreasing the impact of this problem.
