After re filming all the footage I needed and extras on filming day three I had a rough edit and idea of how the music video would look and decided on adding some extra rose petal shots in the studio and some extreme close up shots of Mercy singing the first verse into the mic to add in the beginning. However when I showed my teacher, she thought it didn't need any extra filming of mercy singing in the first verse, which I was pleased to hear as that would mean I would only need a few more shots, giving me more time to edit.
When it came to the day of filming the main character(singer) Mercy was suspended from college just before I was about to get her ready for filming and she wasn't allowed on the premises therefore I couldn't shoot the only scenes I needed which was in the TV Studio.
I ended up still using the TV Studio to film rose petals shots of them falling, them shaped into a heart, surrounding the microphone and some close ups shots of the rose petals. I thought these shots could go in between the shots I did of Mercy, laying in the rose petals I filmed on the first day of filming, instead of her singing shots that I planned to film on Friday.
I also went around Nottingham with Tyrone filming landscape shots of the church restaurant- Pitch and Piano from the top level on car parks to get a nice view. I also got a few more shots of birds flying around the buildings that I might use along with the similar shots in the first verse. I plan on using more bird shots within the last verse just before the scat or use them in the scat, when I use lots of quick short bursts creating a climax.
My only worry now is that I won't have enough singing footage for the scat as I wanted her singing in rose petals but will have to make do with the footage I have for now, until I know when my actress will be allowed back into college.
After I carried on editing instead of filming Mercy on Friday I had more ideas of shots I wanted for the video. I need more extreme close up shots of Mercy's lips singing as well as close up shots in the TV Studio and outside, of her moving her hips to the music.
Another idea to incorporate with the landscape shots is of a busker that plays ouside Marks and Spencers in the streets of Nottingham. He plays the saxophone, an instrument that is used to create the song. He may not be there when I decode to film or allow me to film him but it is an idea that I will try. I think these exterior shots, or outside ones will look nice in black and white. This is something I will see if it works well with the theme of the music video.
