First Attempt of Filming

For our first attempt of filming for our music video we began filming at my house, to get the early shots of the human waking up and getting ready to leave the house. Even though this is not how the music video will start, we chose to not film in chronological order as the conditions were not right to begin filming the intro to the music video. We started by filming the human getting out of bed and getting dressed. There is a particularly challenging shot we did where the human walks into the wardrobe and walks out in one continuous shot, with Tom (human) walking out the wardrobe wearing different closes as he walked in with. This was done by using a tripod so that the shot stays completely still, do that when the two shots are put together, they look as if the shot is continuous. However, when we started the editing process we realised that this sequence did not work as well as we wanted it to, so we decided to refilm this sequence when we filmed for the second time.

For most of the shots, we used the mono pod instead of the tripod, as I felt that using the tripod for every scene makes the shots feels very repetitive. The mono pod allows there to be a steady movement instead of a shot being completely static. The mono pod is a better alternative of just using the camera as handheld being the mono pod is weighed in a way where it allows a more fluent shot to be made instead of using a handheld method, which can be very unstable and looks less professional.

Animatic For 'Green Eyed Monster' Music Video

This is our animatic for our music video for the song 'Green Eyed Monster'. The storyboard was drawn by Terry and he draws the introduction to our music video, the narrative and the band sequence, although very rough drawings, the storyboard still prompted our memories during filming the music video so that we was clear on what shoot we were doing at that moment. This allowed us to stay organised so that we stuck to a rough scene list.

The Origins of the Music Video

The music video orginated mainly in the 60's with The Beatles. Before the breakthrough of the music video, artists would only be seen by their fans through tv specials, films and on the radio.
