Shooting Practice Music Video

 This post contains a mini project that helped us learn how to shoot a music video. We shot our verse as a group and then created this post together. 

My teacher gave each group a verse from, " Here Comes The Sun" by the Beatles. We had to plan a scene which included various camera work and edits. The goal was to practice our lip syncing and editing the video to make it match the song. 

Pre Production

Before the process of production, our teacher introduced us to the song that we all have to make a video with and tasked each group with a single, but different verse. In which they have to make a music video that involves lip syncing. We were then instructed to create a quick 15 minute storyboard for the single verse. Originally, we came up with the idea of playing with lighting, making use of our phone flashlights and revolving it over the main character (Bagus) head to make it more emotional and suspenseful on the Mise En Scene, but after a long consideration about how the phone camera would not focus, we decided that it is best for us to create the image that someone progressively getting happier with more people accompanying the main character who is sad. While the main character (Bagus) continues singing as more people enters the scene. 

Through sound and Mis En Scene, we instructed Bagus to act sad on the first shot while he lip syncs the lyrics as there is no one accompanying him, with a sad and flat face. But as the lyrics say, "here comes the sun" the scenes in which one by one of Bagus's friends entering and singing along make him progressively happier. In the final scene everyone will gather around Bagus while the music goes on, and he will look very happy and laughing. 

This is our storyboard:

During production, we filmed it in an empty bright classroom
