Production Post - First section of filming

I have recently started to film my music video and edit the footage using Adobe Premiere. As I am acting within the video, I got a fellow class mate to film for me. Whilst filming we used two red head lights, a steady-cam, two Canon 600D cameras and a tripod. All of this equipment allowed me to get the best possible footage.

We filmed the footage at a much quicker shutter speed which will allow me to slow down the footage during the editing process without it looking very jumpy rather than smooth. We then set the lights up and the lights we used allowed us to move them around; this was essential for the shoot as we needed different lighting for when the camera was infront of me, behind me and then during section where I was dancing. Lighting is extremely important and having access to this sort of equipment helped a lot. Also, the lights had a switch which allowed me to adjust the lights and channel the light either in a very small space or a wider space; again, this was extremely helpful as we could then specifically change the lighting to cater the needs of the camera.

Before beginning the filming process we had to ensure the mise-en-scene was perfect. In order to do this, Amy curled my hair using heated rollers  which gave a very big, luscious effect fitting with the styling of the time period. Although I did my makeup whilst filming, I also added just a base layer of foundation and mascara so the lighting did not wash me out.
