The filming process was very long and tiring. We Went as a group to bristol city centre with all of our recording equipment. The location we shot was 'Loyds' By the 4 cranes right in the centre of bristol. We invited a few friends to come and skate board in the back ground, our friend James came. Whilst we were there we also happened to meet another guy skateboarding so we approached him and asked hijm if he wanted to be in our music video in which he happily accepted. Jay brought along some friends along with him who dressed in relation to our rap music video. For example Black and white clothing with hats, coats and also bringing along props like bikes, skateboards and music speakers to fit the part.
We began filming with Toff behind the recording camera, he put the recording camera on to a tripod which had wheels and began shooting my friend rapping, a few minutes after, we realised that the footage was to 'Still' so we had to undo do it and take it off and do it hand held, which proved to be much better because for rap videos they need to be hand held anyway.
All of Jays friends and I had to sit on the steps in the background whilst toff filmed my friend rapping infront of the camcorder. Jay took pictures of each step. Toff then got our skateboarders to skate around so that we could get a variety of shots and also relate it to our theme of rapping and skateboarding. We did many different shots. One which we did was my friend that was rapping he was placed at the front and jays friends were in the background on the bikes and skateboards. We made them walk towards the camera in the background whilst my friend Halo was rapping.
We Attempted to include all relevant shot angles in to our music video.
We then went to the setting around @bristol to film some shots with the water and the statues.
We then went to my car around the corner to use the lighting of that to create some effect.
We did the shooting on the camcorder in black and white because that was what we chose as our theme, we were influenced by the 'When the sun goes down' video by Jimmy Johnson
The bikes and skateboards we used to create and effect in our theme also, we were influenced by the artist stormzy and his track in my music analysis number 5.
After a few hours it was starting to get more tiring but we had to stay awake and get lots of shots for the rap video.
The Steals for the inside of the album are examples of what we have been doing.
