Green Screen

We have decided that we wont be using the green screen footage, the reason for this is that the only reason we decided to film this extra part was because of the dimension part that was difficult to make without the greenscreen however now we have changed the look of it and have used footage from a different shoot to create that park, there is now no use for the footage as the greenscreen wasnt in our original story board plans and also doesnt match our genre or the rest of our music video.

Footage From 6th Shoot





For this shoot we went to Southbank/London Bridge and we filmed Gabi walking around a few locations in London. This footage aids the concept of our video which is 'Freedom' as the footage shows her having fun and dancing in London.

Costume for Southbank shoot

This is the costume we have chosen for our shoot walking around Southbank. We decided on the Ellesse jumper as it suits our urban/vintage image that we want to convey in our music video. We also thought that this jumper would be comfortable and warm and would be suitable for the current cold weather we have. We decided to use the stretchy skinny jeans as they also give comfort, as gabi will be walking around Southbank. We decided on the desert shoes as they also give comfort as well as being very current in the fashion trends as well as looking slightly urban. We decided on having Gabi wear hooped earings to add abit of glam to the look, hooped earings are also a very urban look which is what we want.

We decided to keep the makeup very minimum and natural, the reason for this is because this particular shoot is supposed to convey Gabi walking around london looking casual as though she is having fun. We followed this makeup tutorial when applying her makeup.

Green Screen Shoot

Today we had a shoot in front of the green screen. The reason for the green screen was to use to the footage to create the 'dimension' effect in the video. Gabi wore a bright red crop top and blue jean shorts. We felt this contrasted well with the green screen; as well as fitting with our music genre.

Risk Assessment (Green screen shoot)

There are a few risks in using the green screen, the first is we have to be careful with the equipment as it was all very fragile. To avoid any damages to equipment we should take our time in setting it up and taking it down.

A further risk is tripping over the studio lighting wires. To avoid injuring ourselves we should place the lights in areas that we wouldn't need to walk around, this would lower the chances of us tripping and falling.

The lights would also get really hot and we could very easily burn ourselves. So to avoid burning our hands, once we finish filming, we should take the green screen down first, wait for the lights to cool then dismantled them.
