Props & Lighting

Props

For our music video after various disussions we realised there wouldn't be any props as such that we would really need, however we made lists of what we would need for each day.

Live Gig:
- Microphones and stands
- Guitars
- Drum kit and drum sticks
- Lighting(this was provided at the venue)
-

Bonfire/ Firework scene:
- Bonfire
- Sparklers
- Fireworks
However as we were going to a public event all our props were there it ws just a case of us filming them.

Woodland scene:
- Guitars
- One drum including a strap and drum sticks
- A picnic table
Like the bonfire scene various props were provided, so when filming this scene it would be a case of filming certain aspects depending on what we come across such as a bench, or specific tree etc.

 

Also during all three days of filming we would need to make sure we brought any cameras, tripods, lighting etc with us.

 

 

Lighting

 

Live Gig-

As we filmed at their live performance at the Voodoo Lounge this meant that all the lighting was already provided  meaning we were lucky that we didn't have to provide our own. However there will be a brighter spot light on the lead singer meaning that he is perhaps lit better than the other band members which perhaps could cause problem when we come to editing as it may be difficult to see them in the video. Also we have been told that there will be a smoke machine which may look really good but if this ever goes over the band members faces there faces will be covered and it may be difficult to see them.

Firework/Bonfire scene-
We didn't need lighting for this area of filming as we were filming fireworks which would obviously be lit themselves with the black night sky meaning they would stand out. Also when filming the bonfire we wanted the people dancing around it to be silouettes meaning that the light will be from the bonfire.

Woodland scene-
As we would be filming in the daytime the set would be lit by the sun and the day we have scheduled to film has a weather report to be sunny meaning that the band will be well lit and it also means the leaves on the floor will stand out when the sun shiesn on them making a really nice image for our music video.
