Outfit Ideas - Actor

Before I began filming I had to create the outfits for my actors so here I came up with two different outfit ideas for my actor. For my actor I decided that I wanted his outfit to have a dominance of the colours red, black and white, in order to match the rock theme because in my opinion these colours are iconographic of the rock genre. I created these outfits by finding each individual item off the Internet, either on Google or clothing websites, and then editing them together to form a realistic outfit on Adobe Photoshop. 

First Draft Music Video

For my first draft of my music video I decided to film the broadcast part of my music video because this is the only part of my music video that is not on my main location, and I had not yet heard back from the owners of my location at that moment in time so I decided to film this part first because I had access to the location that I needed.


Overall, this wasn't successful because of many problems that I encountered. The first problem that I came across was that I filmed the TV against a white background, unaware that you couldn't remove the background of this footage off a white background so I had to reshoot this against a green screen. Another problem I came across was that I filmed my two actors against different coloured backgrounds so when it came to fading these two over one another you could easily see the difference in backgrounds. Plus, I was unable to find out how to make a cut down piece of footage zoom in so that it looked as if the broadcast was on the TV screen so I had to leave it stationary until I could work out how to make this possible.


Despite all this some things went well such as the mise-en-scene of my actors which matched the outfit ideas I created previously, lip-syncing of my actors was very accurate and I feel as if I have a clear vision of what I want, making me more determined to reshoot this part in order to get it perfect and how I envisioned it to be.


I now know what I need to do to improve and I have found out that filming is extremely hard to perfect and that planning and organisation is also a key feature of this in order to find a time that is suitable for everyone who is in my music video.

Outfit Ideas - Actress

Before I began filming I had to create the outfits for my actors so here I came up with three different outfit ideas for my actress. For my actress I decided that I wanted her outfit to have a dominance of the colours red and black, in order to match the rock theme because these colours are iconographic of the rock genre. I created these outfits by finding each individual item off the Internet, either on Google or clothing websites, and then editing them together to form a realistic outfit on Adobe Photoshop. 

Health and Safety Check

Here is a short list of precautions that I need to be aware of when filming to ensure that me and my cast stay safe and out of danger:

• careful with the sledgehammer because it is very heavy and could fall on you
• be careful where I am throwing the glass bottle and make sure everyone is far away from this 
• be careful not to stand on the glass on the floor, or any splinters, nails etc.
• not to trip up on bottles on the floor or bucket
• don't trap hands in the door
• clean up glass/mess after myself 
• be careful where you step as the floor may be unstable and quite dangerous to step on
• don't go too close to any holes in the floor in case you fall
