Behind the scenes 3 : Projector

As part of video we decided to have pictures of Ella and her boyfriend projected onto her. We did this

in our school, in a room painted all black with the lights off and had Ella stand on a chair in front of the projector and put the pictures of them on a power point and film her lip syncing parts of the songs. The point of this is for the audience to meet her boyfriend but not fully and in person, so they have an idea of who is and can put a face to the storyline of the song. We decided to have a  Bardot top, this way her top cannot be seen in the shot and only her shoulders are on show. The idea of this was for the audience to think that she is naked reflection on her time with her boyfriend. However, we did come across a problem which was that Ella was not tall enough to meet the light of the projector properly, so she had to stand on her tip toes to reach the light.

Some of the shots we filmed were not good enough to go into our music video, so we had to do some filler shots around school. However, we filmed in front of a blossom tree and then in front of a brick wall with overgrown branches on it. We picked places which didn't look like a school.

Instead of filming at Riverside we decided to cut that bit out because the video has too many scenery clips, so we discussed filming more of the projector scene and make a storyline out of that to go in-between the date scenes.
