Research and Filming The Strangers

Today on the 9th November we had the opportunity to film an upcoming band called The Strangers.

The strangers music genre is dark pop, electronic and pop. 

We were put into groups, in my group was Harrison, Emma, Gemma, Becky, Josh and I. We had to plan to some extent to where we were going to place cameras and who was going to be operating which. We had allocated these positions so that when the band arrived at 11am we were ready and organised to film.
We chose for them to sing 'It was a sin'
here is there very own music video for it was a sin -



  

We only had one opportunity to film and the main issue we found when filming was getting all the cameras in sync so that when we go to edit the lip syncing and instruments are playing at the same time. Another problem when filming was trying to achieve good shots, for example Becky and I wanted to achieve some close ups of the drum work but keeping a good shot while zooming in was difficult.

I believe that through this opportunity of filming the Strangers we have relevant experienced of filming the performance side of music videos. This combined with Radar Love, I believe that when I come to film my own coursework I have the skills to shot a good performance side of the video.
