Faithless 'Insomnia' 30s clip SHOOT

Me and jake filmed our 30 second clip on tuesday the eighth of October, we decided upon our location which was a dark room used by the art department at Ilkley Grammar School. The dark room provided minimum light which goes along with the theme of our music video 'I can't get no sleep.'

We used multiple shots and used three locations in total, we wanted to use close ups and mid shots to show our main characters emotion and actions. This will be in much more depth in our full video.

As this is just a rough 30 second clip we wanted to get an idea of the shots we could use and would be able to use. We now know that we are allowed to shoot in the dark room which will no doubt be a key location for our actual shoot

However we did encounter some problems

• Finding a dark background - even though we shot in the dark room our backdrops were still white/grey this will be something we have to plan ahead for to get a black background sheet of card.
• Getting official permission to film in the dark room.
• Lack of dark locations - other than the dark room on school site there isn't much to work with and if we were to film in school our video would have to be heavily edited. We need to decide on a suitable location outside of school.
• Using an efficient light source.
• To know the lyrics.
