Brighton Reccie

On Tuesday 27th September our group went on a location reccie to Brighton, visiting the pier, seaside and general area. Brighton is a popular location for many music videos, especially the pop genre. We started the day by experimenting with establishing shots of the town and sea from the high angle of the pier. Here we also did panning shots of the sea and surrounding are.

On the beach we did some close ups of feet in the pebbles and a high angle close up of me lying down lip syncing. This was our second attempt at lip syncing and we are much more comfortable with making it look right with the track now. As well as this we did a 360 panning shot which looked really good for establishing the location rather than just a normal pan.

We then found some concrete steps which we were able to shoot some interesting angles of me walking up and down the stairs. Our best shot in this area was a close up of my feet walking up the stairs, this would be a good filler shot within our music video.

INSERT VIDEO

Overall the day was really useful to practise shots for our music video and master the art of lip syncing. It was also useful because we realised how hard filming in public places is because there are people constantly getting in the way and walking into shots. We thought that the location of a seaside was a good idea for our music video, however we would prefer sand instead of pebbles so are considering using Cambersands instead of Brighton.
