Performance:

There were three different locations that I chose to film in for my performance-side of my music video. Two were largely used and one was used for a particular scene. This short scene involved the main character waking up and singing the first two lines of the song therefore, this clip also links in with the narrative of my video. I wanted to film the character waking up with the depression next to her and sing the song straight away in order to set a tone for the video and allow the audience to think about its storyline and meanings. The two main locations were the drama room and the photography room in school. Using the drama room was helpful as there were big, black curtains which helped to block out the window light and create a plain, black background. The lighting was produced from the professional stage lights attached to the ceiling, these enabled me to set different levels of lighting which created certain moods. However, the most prominent colour used was simply normal clear, yellow-toned lights in order to see all members of the band and details included within the shot. The photography room was also efficient for filming as the background was already black but with flecks of things attached to it however, this is suitable for my genre as it adds to the carefree, laid-back attitude of my band. There are also random pictures hanging down within the location which again, is appropriate for the genre as not everything has to make sense.
