filming diary

On Saturday 1st December I was able to film my bathroom and bedroom scenes for Paris. I found problems with filming the bedroom scene, as the lighting was much darker than I expected as I had no extra lights and because it was dark outside (5pm) I had no natural light to use to film with and only the bedroom lights. I feel that when I begin to edit these I will encounter problems with the quality because of the poor lighting and may have to re shoot parts, however I will have to wait and see.

The bathroom scenes where easily shot and shouldn't encounter any problems with these, I am going to start to edit my footage on Tuesday 4th December in the editing suite, I am hoping I can add an effect to these to make it look 'grim' as the mood in the scene needs to be  slightly depressed.

Here is what I have filmed so far: 


The bedroom scenes have very poor lightening and can be seen in the several shots used above, I would certainly like to re shoot these in the day time as well as using extra lighting. Although when using the editing suite and turned into black and white using the contrast, the shots look better and are more effective as well as feeling to the dark mood she is feeling whilst in bed without her other half been there. I would consider using these shots in black and white if I decided further down the line that they are better than the ones I am going to re shoot because they are effective in black and white. 
I have changed the coloring and brightness in matrix advanced primary level, you can see this clearly in a lot of the bathroom shots, I feel that changed the colour has a more professional feel to the music video as previously without I didn't like the colouring and believed it cheapend the video.
Many R&B/Pop music videos within my genre have the brightness changed in their music videos for example in Rihanna's we found love, there is a blue tint used in the bedroom scenes and then used at the skatepark there is a much softer tone used which I think works well within the theme of the video as it is a happier time in the narrative of the video.
I would like to incorporated these editing skills in my further developed music video using the editing suite.
