First day of filming

This is a small introduction to the days filming:



Yesterday, unfortunately I could not attend the filming because I was in a lesson but Molly and Charlotte started to film at Molly's house. They filmed the shots of Charlotte getting ready and also her lip syncing to some of the song whilst laying in cut out magazines. Our inspiration for these shots is from Paramores video "The only exception" where she is laying in love letters. We took this idea but rather than using love letters we chose people from magazines to show our theme of obsession. They also filmed shots of Charlotte doing her make up into the camera as if she is using the camera as a mirror. We did this sort of filming last year in our film opening and decided that by using it too much was quite boring so we will only use little snips of the make up scenes.



Charlotte's costume was dark eye make up with pale skin with a tight black dress on to show her femininity. She also wore red lipstick which symbolised her seductive nature towards the band.


With the cut out magazine pictures, they also decided to have a go at stop animation with the bits of magazine piling up and something moving across the screen. They did it by taking photos and moving the pieces a little bit in between each photo. They then also tried the same thing with a bass guitar and lip stick marks. Charlotte kissed the guitar with her lipstick and each time took a photo of the bass with an extra kiss to make it look effective. This shot of the bass is essential in our music video because on the line of the song "She stole my karma" we are going to show Charlotte stealing the bass guitar off of the band member, so this will be the bass that is used in the performance element of our video as well. We can use these parts of stop animation just in parts throughout our video as the editing has to be very quick.
These are the examples of stop animation after we edited it together:
