Shot lists and Filming space

The shots we are making for our video will mainly be made in school or in a dance studio. We decided that we need a black and white background for our video to be saturated in black and white, which we aim to do. With Elle's busy schedule we can only film at certain times which means it's sometimes tight for us. Shooting in certain places is also difficult. We came up with a plan to only film in the school because that also shows ordinary life. We now have the concept of just an ordinary girl in school who is in love - which is a common story line or real life emotion most teenage girls feel. This concept that we made up because of our limited space to film has also helped us appeal more to our target audience. Our target audience feedback also shows that most people (8/10) prefer to see a story line that is realistic and could happen to anyone, nothing extraordinary and over-exaggerated like some performs like to produce for a music video, e.g Lady GaGa or Rihanna.

Around the school:

These are the places around the school where me and Elle have filmed our dance production. We chose theses places beacause of the large space for jumps, lunges and other moves Elle has choreographed into her dance. I also chose most of these places to film because of its natural light. The first picture is a window in which elle sat in which produced a really good silhouette effect, which looks spectacular in black and white. The bottom picture is a picture of the main hall (the desks wasnt there when we filmed). We filmed in here due to the large plain white walls and the huge draped black curtains which made it easy to film in. Fiming on black and white backgrounds will help us when it comes down to editing.
