Music Video Study Day Filming, Performing and Lighting Skills Development



Instruments Set Up
The process of re-creating The Strokes music video of the song 'Last Nite' we learnt the basic structure and set up a band would have within the music video, this includes the setup of all the instruments including the guitar, bass, drum set and the microphones. 

Lighting
In terms of lighting there were built in lights within the studio we filmed in, which changed colour when you pressed the lighting controller on the wall. The lighting in the room would change from pink to blue and purple etc. Then additional lighting came through which were placed behind the performers, so that the light would shine towards the cameras, creating a more, "on stage" performance look.

Camera set up
There were multiple cameras set up around the performers, there were four cameras on tripods, two on either side and then there was the camera placed at the front on a tripod but this one was on a track that moved side to side smoothly. Then there was another camera on the fig rig ensuring the close up and more focused shots were included.

Reflection
i find that this will be useful for  my work as i now know the basics as to what i need to do and the process i need to go to to film a music video. From the lighting set up to the cameras, instruments, props and instruction giving.
