Filming our music video - Still shots

During filming for our music video, myself and my group decided to take some still shots of the process so it was understandable how certain images were achieved. For our chorus', we wanted to use direct address and miming to make the words seem more believable. My group used 2 of our friends as actresses and one of ourselves, to mime the chorus separately. To do this we all listened to the 'Sunshine' song and ensured that we all knew the lyrics. Each time we took a shot, we would use a piece of cardboard with the lyrics as a prompt. Moreover, each time we would talk through each line together to make sure that we were in time with the song.

In this Shot, one of our actresses Carmen, is using direct address during the chorus. We ensured all the actors knew the lyrics to our song at the chorus, therefore we could mime the lyrics to the camera aiming for a more realistic approach.

Here is one of our actresses Carmen dressed in 'Urban' style clothing. We used colour clashes and rough hair to make it seem as if she wasn't concerned with her appearance.

In this 'Behind the scenes' shot, Carmen is holding a piece of cardboard that we wrote the lyrics to the chorus on. We used this piece of cardboard for prompting the actresses, yet we also incorporated it into our video.

This still shot shows one of our group members ( Leila), acting in our music video using direct address.

Again, Leila is using direct address. Furthermore, we can see that Leila's choice of costume reflects the 'Urban' style that we want to achieve with our hip-hop genre.

Here is a still shot of the location that we used. It was behind the back of a shopping centre to add to the 'rough' element of the storyline. You can see Chloe and Leila in the shot. ( Leila acting and Chloe filming)

This still shot shows were Chloe was whilst filming
