This week we had a chance to work with cameras again. We went to the studio to understand how video clips are shot. The song was Shape Of You, so most of us already knew the lyrics. We were doing it on 3 different backgrounds: blue walls and a painting, wall with multicoloured lights and greenscreen, one of which gave an experience of working with a track. We were taught to film clapper first and then the singer itself. That is done to easier synchronise sound when editing as you just have to match seconds on the clip and music track. We have done at least three shots of each scene: wide, mid and close as we did when filmed thriller opening title. Every person in our class tried different jobs at it - being cameraman, singer, director. I think that this whole exercise was very interesting and fun.
After shooting, we went to edit suite, where we were reminded how to edit. Also, we were shown how to synchronise music and picture. Firstly, we chose good shots and synchronised them with our song. After that, we were cutting shots to create a nice picture. We decided to choose all shots with me as an artist as it was easier to know for me which were good and which weren't. We had about half an hour to produce this little clip, so the work we have done is just a practise and not really serious one.
