Band Filming

The big day arrived, the filming went really well. Our band members were surprisingly really lively and did a great job. The lead singer throw himself into it superbly, and really adopted the role as a lead rock/pop/alternative singer really well.

In the morning we made one more final preparation, we burned searching for song in the dark song onto a disk, so i could play it through my car at the location and the band could get the rhythm and match the lyrics.

We then packed up my car with the instruments and drove the 2 seconds to the location and started setting. Here's images of my car full of instruments.

Here are some more pictures of me and Amelia setting up before the actors arrived...

We also set up the camera and got the positioning and distance correct so we could quickly shoot without messing about.


Here are some pictures of in between and during filming with actors.

 

We thought it also be a great opportunity to take some band photos, that we could potentially use for our digi pak, as part of our promotional package.

Some better than others, but overall we thought the pictures were successful. They successfully reflected the friendly nature between the band members, so it look very realistic in terms of them actually being a close band. Also their rock/pop/ alternative dress sense is clearing shown, by having a combination of blazers, shirts, hoodies, jackets, T shirts with skinny jeans. All also all of a non colourful colour scheme, for example, black, blues, purples, greys, white and the denim colour look. We decided this as from our previous research in the rough band footage and from new research this was the style that was commonly suggested through similar text's videos. Especially in lost in colour's music video, with the dark colour scheme and jackets.

Make Out Kids - Room Sixteen.  Also wore skinny jeans, cardigans, jackets and T shirts.

 Similar story in  All Time Low's Dear Maria, music video. Especially emphasising T shirts and skinny jeans. Even an advert for 'punk' T shirts appeared at the bottom of the video when we were researching rock pop band dress sense.
