Lighting plan for the performance part of our music video

For our music video we decided we would like to have a performance part in different parts of the narrative. To do this we need a person that is good at lip syncing so it looks realistic and in time. The person we have decided to be the performer in our music video is somebody who is already in a band so hopefully this will be an good advantage to the performance parts. In terms of lighting we have decided to have a darkish room with two lights that are coming from the sides or the front to light up his face so it will show his lip syncing well and also his emotion as he sings the lyrics. We got inspiriation from a music video that Seb showed me on YouTube. The music video is Hero by a band called Skillet. Here is the link to the music video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9x2CHQClTU
Seb and I did some more filming on Saturday with our actors. We only had to do some more shots of the main character (that gets cheated on by his girlfriend) and the boy that the girlfriend cheated with fighting. This only took about half an hour as we knew what we wanted to do so we could just get on with it which is why it didn't take that long. 

Seb is also planning to meet up with another person we have in mind to do our performance parts of our music video. Hopefully that will be done this week so we can edit it in to our music video and then our music video will be finished. Our idea for our music video is to have two lights shining on the actor who is doing the performance bits so his face is well lit and the emotion on his face will be visible as he is performing. The person we have chose to do the performance part of our music video is actually in a band so based on this he hopefully will be able to pull off a good performance for our video such as the lip syncing being in time with the music. 

We also plan to take photos of the main character and the girl who cheated on him for our digipak and magazine advert. If we manage to get these photos this week we will be able to add them to our magazine advert and digipak and then these will also be completed. 

Seb and I are in the process of doing the evaluation we have started all of the questions apart from one that Seb and I decided it would be an audio commentary with a video on screen showing what Seb is talking about. (Seb agreed to be the person talking on the audio commentary). So on Wednesday's lesson me and Seb will plan and write down what he needs to say in the commentary and what needs to be shown on screen as he is talking.
