Location Shots

In the video, we mainly use a blue screen background so that we can create other background and split screens in the editing suite.

Here is a picture of the blue screen. When filming we had to ensure that the whole area of the background only showed the blue screen. There were spotlights that we could rearrange, only turning on the ones that were significant to the dancers. We had a few problems with the blue screen as the surface on the bottom kept creasing which made it difficult to key out when adding in a new background when editing, however we managed to draw attention away from it by cutting to close-ups and mid shots. The dancers had to ensure that they did not wear any form of blue when being filmed as it could have been lost when using colour correction. Blue or green are popular colours to use when filming as they are the colours that match human skin the least.

At the beginning of the video, we used different peoples feet dancing to the music, to start us off we filmed in the college infront of brick walls to reflect on the Electro house street dance style.

 We also filmed in Piccadily circus in London Trocadero. The location was a hall with graffiti writing in the background which also reflects on the genre house elemenet of the music video. The dancers were all breakdancers which was an advantage however, the dissapointment of the filming was that the lighting was very low key, and we had to ensure that the dancers stayed in the same spot so that it did not get too dark.
