We have decided to shoot the second part of our music video in a stylistic medium, whiich we will do in a photography studio. The one we have found is very local and offers a discount to students - which is always very helpful on the finance front!
LOCATION
We are shooting our video in a local studo used for all kinds of photography projects. They offer a white, black or grey backdrop so it is fabulous to have a choice - however we are going to use black as it will maintain our contrast of white/black/colour theme.
We are going to set up a stereotypical but simplistic dining table setup, so will need to bring plates, cutlery and a tablecloth etc and we have been informed that there is a table available at the studio which we can use; this definitely helps logistically as we do not want to have to hunt around for a table!
COSTUME
Costume-wise, we want to stick quite closely to the theme of black and white/representation. Therefore the girl will wear black leggings and a plain white top, whilst the male actor will wear jeans and a T-shirt. This will mean that it won't take away from the concept we are trying to focus on, which is a fight for love between a couple.
ACTORS
To help keep the storyline consistent and easy for the audience to follow, we used one of the same couples we had used from the powder paint shoot.
HAIR/MAKE UP
Again, we wanted to keep this stylistic and simple, so are having the girl's hair in a typical half up/half down style and the male's hair normal.
PROPS
We will need a table and chairs which is being supplied by the studio. We are bringing the extras, including the plates and cutlery as well as the mobile phone and magazines. There is nothing too extravagant so it should be quite a straightforward setup.
LIGHTING
We are using the lighting provided by the studio, which has 2 brilliant bright white spotlights which will give our shots great depth. This is key as the background is dark, so it is essential that the actors and props are well lit in order to avoid shadows and out of focus shots.
The lighting and colour is also very important in this scene because we have to get it to mirror that of the colours and tones within the last shoot so as to provide consistency. This means we will have to experiment with the lighting levels quite a bit in the studio to make it the same brightness. If we don't get this spot on during the shoot, then we will have to try and sort it out in post production by altering the colour and brightness filters.
