●Google Maps: We used Google Maps to help us find the best and appropriate locations around Manchester for our music video. The street viewer and 360 degree angle helped us to widen our search.
●Google: We used Google to search up the lyrics for Set Fire to The Rain and the meaning behind the song, so we could analyze them and help us draft out the scenes.
●YouTube: YouTube helped us alot, especially throug the first stages into the project. It enabled us to research other artists and their own take of their music video. Also, We used much equipment in the making of our music video. On the first day of filming, we were lucky enough to be in the colleges recording studio. The studio contained much professional filming equipment, such as high definition cameras. We took advantage of our time with the cameras as they had perfect quality and were easy to use.
We were also fortunate to have professional lightings, which enabled us to produce different textures on each clip. The lights themselves helped us to get the look we were looking for. The song that we were filming was a ‘broken hearted love song’ and we were looking for low key lightings to emphasize the broken hearted girls.
We were given digital cameras, for it being hand held, it gave us the advantage of filming around Manchester and also it was easy to carry around, the only disadvantage was its battery wise. We also had a tripod given along with the digital camera, this helped us to get still shots while the performer is performing.
To edit all of our finale shots, we used apple Mac’s to edit it all together. The editing software is a program called Final Cut Pro. We found it hard to use a first as this program offers you much to work with. However once we got started we more or less new what we were doing.
