Shooting

Last night myself and Harry shot various sequences from our original storyboards. We shared the camera work and music timing tasks, I also did the styling, hair and makeup. We asked our friend from school, Joanne Pride, to be our actress. We have planned to do more shooting in the commencing week.

Shooting Preparation

Finalised Storyboards

Actor's aesthetic

During a meeting between myself and my team we collaboratively allocated tasks to each group member in order to finalise our shooting preparation, and ultimately improve our efficiency, time keeping and overall cooperation as a team.

I drew each frame of the storyboards to convey the overall narrative structure, shot sequences, props and mis-en-scene of our music video. I have also devised a series of images conveying the aesthetic of the actress within our video which portrays the ideology of objectification through vanity, fortune and fame which is so predominant throughout our music video.

The props include champagne bottles and champagne glasses, materials mimicking drugs and cigarettes to convey opposing elements deriving from the current predominant elements of 21st century life, and the life style of admiration seekers, anti-authority rebels and materialist demographics.

We have planned a minimum of 3 shooting days, where we plan to shoot separate segments of the narrative. We will use a series of settings at the same location ranging from a dark and mysterious bedroom representing the glamorous boudoir of the artist, to the backseat of my car to represent a car/limousine to primarily highlight a materialistic lifestyle.
