Group 8: Brighton Feedback


From our recce trip to Brighton we benefited largely through experimenting with different camera shots and techniques, which I believe we will try to incorporate into our final music video.

·        We experimented a lot with the use of handicams during our trip, particularly when filming in the arcade on the pier.  We liked this technique and think it will be effective in our own final production because during the boys dream state we want the audience to feel present but also aware that the clip is not real life so the handicam gives it a slightly disorientated dreamy feel. This will also be presented with some a colour grade effect so it is clear that this state is not reality, and a fast cutting rate will reinforce the boys happiness and display action.

·        We worked on time-lapses during our trip to Brighton; this is a technique we may consider using during our final production. The time passing in our video could represent many things, like how regardless of how the time passes nothing changes for the boy at home and his situation never gets better. This could be shown through a shot of the sun going down into darkness.

·       The use of slow motion was effective during our trip to catch shots of the sea and mainly catching emotion. I think we will use a lot of slow motion in our final production to display the contrast of emotions from when the boy is at home where he is very uncomfortable, to this dream state where he is happiest.
