Filming: Kids Take 2!

Today I filmed my kids for the music video. Following my story board it took just over an hour and we had quite a lot of fun and ate a lot of sweets!! As there were no camera's available from the school for me to borrow I had to use my dads instead. The quality isn't as great as I wanted it, but it gives my video a home made feeling. This means my audience may be able to relate to the video more as its not all sparkly. I decided to film hand held to enhance the genre of indie. Also looking through my research I realised that often in music video's the cameras do not stay still in most shots, they are almost always constantly moving.
The camera I am now using the Samsung NX 100  

Unfortunately because of the weather I was unable to film in the area I had done before, and so I decided the lounge was the next best place. Especially as I want it to match the feel of the older couples setting! The lighting in the lounge however wasn't the best as the lights were very limited, but the result shows a warmer mise en scene which is rather homely, but also adds to the slightly vintage feel. Taking inspiration from my research into the 'indie genre' I wanted an artistic shot. This is why I decided to film the lip syncing in front of this colorful elephant.

I'm so happy with my actors, they did exactly what I asked, and Kirsty is possibly the cutest child ever! My favourite shot from this shoot has got to be when Kirsty steals the sweets from the tin as it gives of the cheeky feel I wanted!
