Adding more ideas to the new idea!

For our green screens parts, instead of using different colour backgrounds we have decided on using pictures from different countries. We will dress up as people from these countries and use the country pictures behind us so it loks like we are on a tour in these places. We will show about four-five different countries and then show India or an asian country where the guy will find the write girl. As its called desi girl this will link in well.
I find this will bring a bit of western and multicultural into our video making it more attractive to our audience in the UK.

Green screen test!

4. Add in the green screen attempt on final cut pro.

Pictures of what the idea will hopefully look like!

7. Make Photoshop pictures and add in to see what it would look like.

New idea for the video

After some thinking and planning we have come up with a second idea. This time we are thinking of keeping it more urban. And also, we are thinking of making it into a picture animation. So basically the idea is to have a guy who will be shown at the beggining through normal footage, who then gets bored at home and goes out to find a 'desi girl' for himself. This is whee it will start going into the picture animation of the boy walking down the streets of ilford which is a very urban area with a wide range of asian. This will make sense that it will be eaiser for him to find a 'desi' girl in that area. Obviously this wont take up all the time we are going to add bits of our dance routine which will be greenscreened with different coloured backgrounds.
These are some of the pictures that I took for the video. It shoes him looking in th mirror getting dressed and then walking out the door and on to the streets.

Our second shooting in Birmingham!

Unfortunately we couldnt shoot the second time in birmingham due to a few problems. This idea isnt going very well so we are considering changing the idea slightly where we will be able to have easier access to places. We will now have to start thinking about a second idea, but this time something more simple.

Plans for the 2nd attempt of shooting in Birmingham!

We are going to go back to birmingham to try and reshoot the footage. This time we are hoping to play around more with the lighting and the close up shots. I think we need to add in more of these as it would give our identity and image away to our audienc within the video. We are hoping to stick to the same plan as last time. So we will shoot the dance routine all in one outfit first with different lighting. This will be with the three different cameras all in different angles. nd then after we will change the lighting and the clothing and then repeat this with teh cameras at different angles. For all the boys bits, we wil do them sepeeratly after as the shots are quite different to each other.

Our first shoot in Birmingham!

We finally got a chance to go to birmingham and shoot our music video for the first time. Unfortunatley, it didnt go as planned! the venue that we had booked was very big, there was alot of space and the lighting was great. We also managed to get a backdrop which was black with small white lights on them which were representing stars. this looked very nice and because of lights that we could play around with, we decided on what colour lighting we can have on certain shots and shoots. The plan was to shoot the dance routine that we had coreographed in three diff ourfits using the two cameras to get different angles. And then the extra shots, like close ups and the special ones which needed more time on, we were going to shoot seperate afterwards.
So we began with our first outfit which was an indian outfit, and as we both wore the same things, it all looked very good. after shooting once when we checked the footage, it didnt look too good. The camera was going very blury and because the venue was lit up alot, the bluryness showed up alot! we tried this a few more times but it wouldn't change so unfortunately we had to stop the shoot as it would have been a waste of time.
