Construction of the Music Video
All music videos have to start somewhere and that somewhere is the filming process. For both the thriller opening and music video we used a D5100. When we first started using this camera (a year and a half ago), we had rather basic knowledge of how things worked and we stuck to a simple setting (Auto) and just filmed. This time round, we have changed different settings to change how the camera works in relation to the light. Our most favoured setting was 'Portrait mode' (which softens the background) and we used this for the majority of our production. Whilst filming our video, we also filmed in several different camera shot and angles. Before, we would stick to one angle and film that piece but now we have learned to film from different angles to vary the shots and bring a little extra to the video.
