Filming Log 2

The second part of my group and I’s filming was meant to be a series of narrative scenes which would contain to actors and take places at my house. Unfortunately the actor and actress we had intended on using continuously cancelled on which meant that we would have to use our contingency plan in order to create a brilliant music video, stick to the conventions of the Hip Hop genre and have enough footage to fill the whole song. What we had chosen to film were more performance scenes however these were against a blue screen which means  in editing we will have the ability to alter the back ground. This form of filming is commonly used not only by Hip Hop artists but also by other artists. This form of filming is very professional and allows the artists to be the focus of the scene. We filming our artist (Jason) standing directly in front of the camera against the green screen and we also filming him facing left, right and the back of him and well as doing a low angle long shot and a close up shot of his hands. This will allow for a variety of effective jump cuts to be made in our music video making it look as realistic as possible. I personally believe that this inconvenience has managed to benefit the group as the scenes we have filmed will allow the music video to be very artists based as well as using a range of different shots.
