After a trip to London tonight I shot several abstract clips for my music video. Although I am including abstract clips, by visiting London at night I can link the visuals of all the bright lights to this idea of lights acting as the diamonds. I shot several different locations such as: Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland, Oxford Street and Westminster. By choosing to shoot in the dark I felt it gave of this vulnerable atmosphere even though in the visuals you are in the middle of a giant city with loads of people surrounding you, this idea will make the viewer link these aspects all together.
What went well within the shoot?
I felt throughout the shoot I successfully delivered a meaning which was actually unintentional in till I started filming, this shows the development stages of my filming progress.
What was unsuccessful within the shoot?
Although in some of my shots the weather paid of and created this nice natural windy effect, some of the shots themselves meant that the wind was taking over and visually came across as a fast and rigid mood which didn't fit with the song. I had no control over the weather which meant I was delayed waiting for the wind to calm down. Because of the wind as well, due to my specific plans of where I wanted everything allocated, it meant my model was looking a bit stiff and rigid as she was fighting against the wind and trying to act graceful so this meant that in some shots it could come across looking stupid. I may be able to shoot more of these shots in the following days when the wind isn't so bad.
What would I change or do differently?
If I were too do my shoot differently I would have considered weather and the effects it would have on my work, to stop this I would have more people on set to use props such as blocks of wood to block the wood not on camera. Also using different lenses to create different effects such as using an Kaleidoscope Lens. I would also consider the effects of holding the camera portrait way up as it means that you have to crop the final outcomes to landscape meaning you loose parts of your shot which is something I know now not to do.
