Leading up to the practice shoot(My Thoughts)

Firstly I started to plan the music video and it all seemed daunting and such a challenge for me to complete  but when I started to plan it more in detail it seemed much of a realist task.

I Started with dividing the song into different parts 1, 2, 3, then gathering the two actors and allocating the parts and then analysing the lyrics and then researching  Hip hop videos  and I realised that they have a large amount of movement and different shots and transition changing to different location and then I went straight to planning my animatic and gathering information on locations.

 

Soon after I spoke to the artist organised the first practice shoot which was held at the church and because of my planning I knew that the chorus was simple  and wasn't going  challenge the actor, then soon after we practiced the lyrics we started to recorded, making sure I changed angles and repeating the process's over and over again to have enough footage for the video and giving me some options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly following the first practice shoot I felt more confident but a little unsure if the quality would of been good enough compared to the rest of the video because I wasn't actually controlling the camera this was because I was  acting in the second, volunteering to play the role mostly because of last year having the confidence to be in front of the camera and not many other people would travel to the location to perform the role, on the practice day me and my friend got the location and started  prep my equipment and other item to inevitably be ready to practice the song, soon after I shared my thought with my friend and explained that I was finding far to easy to waste time practicing explaining that I practiced the lyrics beforehand one or two day prior.

Straight After we started to recorded the video dividing the parting into different section and spending about an hour recording, going through the whole of the song many different time getting enough footage to suite my satisfaction and I felt that that it went smoother than expected,  gathering all of the shots that I needed to complete that section of the song and this was all possible because of my detail planning following both my storyboard and animatic without them I wouldn't of been able to complete that section so easily.
