Day Two

Yesterdays filming didn't finish till about 9pm!

Today we were feeling it.

And if we were feeling exhausted after one day of filming, we couldn't image how actors felt after days/ month of filming! But it wasn't all bad. We'd enjoyed a much deserved film and food after our first day filming and today the weather looked promising - it was sunny! :D

Plus, today's location was a 5min walk away from Martin's house, which had been our film base over these two days. It was also nice to see the amused or confused faces on drivers or passers by :')

The next few days will be filled with editing and meetings about the music video up until its completion and submission into the competition. Sometimes we forgot this was all for a competition, it's been really fun so far... maybe we should just hang out in futuristic tribal face paints more often?

Music Video: Filming (1)

Day One

From 11.30am on Wednesday it has been all go - go - GO!!

There were people to meet and makeup to buy, so we didn't make it to our first film location till 3pm, but that was ok because we knew that we were in for a long day. Our first location was at Jacobs’s house in his pub/ basement. It was PERFECT! The basement especially because we had to use a head light on the camera when we went down and it had old beer barrels and cob-webbed stone walls, which made it very horror film-esque. Simple filler shots and hostage like footage was taken down here.

Outside we pulled off a more complex shot which involved burning a chair, poisoning a captured jess and smashing glasses which all worked really well on camera!

Even when sheltering from the rain we captured some really nice photo's and it gave that 'darker' tone to the footage that the band are looking for.

Music Video: Makeup + Costumes

 

 Today we made the most of testing out a few looks for the types of characters in the music video, based around the idea of having a "golden sun" styled character and creating the look for the two opposing tribes that fight for/ hunt down the golden sun.

Can't wait to get filming!!

Music Video: Location Hunting

I forgot to post earlier about a competition I saw online to create a music video for the new track 'Golden Sun' by one of my favourite bands Fenech-Soler!!

I was so excited after seeing the post I got organising straight away, which is pretty good seeing as the deadline is now twenty days away today!!! Me and some of my friends from college (the ons who lived in the art department that is) got together last week to watch a film when I shared the news with them. Tomorrow we'll meet again to get some serious ideas and early footage down.

In between all this my friend Jacob and I headed out to do some location hunting - and this is what we found!

Yeah... We like subways.
