Reflections: Shooting our Music Video

We decided that the best way to film our music video would be to film it during the half term, as we were all free and this meant that we still had time afterwards, for example if we had to reshoot. We shot our music video on the 27th and 28th October, the 27th being our narrative shoot, and the 28th being our performance.
The first shoot day turned out great; we all had a lot of fun and we created a logo and set we were really proud of. It was so much fun painting our logo onto the wall and then onto our actor, especially with all our friends around; on and off camera. We also produced a large replica of our logo onto the plasterboard which we were all incredibly proud of, as it looked pretty, professional and was just how we imagined it. The set was also done really well in my opinion, even though it did take quite a few hours in the morning! We spent a good while taping dust sheets to the walls and ceilings, but I think it worked effetively, producing the 'construction site' look we had in mind.


As we had painted the logo the first day, this meant that we could use it in the background of the second day shoot. Our second day was solely for our performance, meaning it was time for us to truly rock out and be the superstars we always wanted to be! But, as they say, being a popstar is not always as glamourous as it seems, and this was proven by the several cuts and bruises due to guitars and 5 inch heels. But all in all it was an incredible day; we had a lot of fun singing the lyrics and performing as if we were a proper band, and after the shoot, our friend took promo photos of us for our album artwork and website. The photos are all beautiful, and something I am really proud of and can't wait to show everyone!
