Drafting & Planning: Danielle Lip synching footage

Here is the edited footage of Danielle's lip syncing. This particular footage is a close up in which the character is happy.

This was shot in the female bathroom, meaning that there was much more lighting. I chose this location as the texture on the wall makes it appear as though she is outside, which fits in with the rest of the video as the majority of the supporting actors will be recorded outside or among nature.

This medium close up is done to show emotion. At first in my storyboard I planned to only have extreme close ups of my supporting actors, but I decided to record multiple camera angles in order to have a variety of shots and to establish emotion. This is particularly important because the sadness that the characters feel, whether it is due to circumstances (such as in Shannen and Kevin's scenes) or due to technology (with the stereotype of technology breaking up human communication), because it needs to contrast with the happiness that is shown later (with the extreme close up as an example).

I really like these pieces of footage, and I think that I will keep this footage for the final music video.
