The start of our video is going to be shot in a fairly large room, looking down on the performer walking across to a chair in the centre of the room. We had an idea as to where this could be shot while we were planning those shots, so we went to the Drama Studio in our school to see if it would look appropriate. The is a balcony around the top of the studio that allows to get high angle shots of the studio and there are curtains that can be pulled around 3 of the 4 walls to close it off. Filming from the balcony above the wall without a curtain allows the room to appear completely curtained off, allowing us to control what can be seen if we film there. Also there are many spot lights around the top of the studio that we can use to light specific places, such as the chair which the performer will walk across the room to, and the path that he'll follow. This will allow us to create a professional appearance to our lighting. We asked permission to film in the drama studio and to use the lighting equipment and we are allowed.
The schools drama studio fits the criteria for the room in which we'll film the guitar performances, especially as it has spotlights. The singing parts of the performance however will be shot in another place. For those shots we wanted a fairly small room with interesting walls. Again the school fulfilled another idea for a room that could be used, so we went to the music practice rooms. These rooms have curved walls which have lots of scratches on them, which provide an interesting backdrop. Also these walls are white, so make for a good contrast with the darkness of the drama studio.
For the other parts of the video, we will be using the collage of models as a backdrop, so as long as we're in a room where we can control the lighting, it doesn't particularly matter where we film it.
