Filming
On Monday 8th, Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th November we had our final three days of filming. On the Monday we were able to shoot the most important part of our video - the chorus. In our chorus, the audience witness our protagonist being 'attacked' with varied colours of paint that each represent an individual sin and their fight against him. Due to our using paint, we had to make sure that we prepared our shooting of the chorus carefully. Fortunately our planning payed off and we were able to get a number of effective shots, that we eventually used in our final film. As well as shooting the chorus, we were also able to re shoot a number of shots that we felt didn't fit with the overall balance of the film and we also managed to shoot some of the shots we had previously been unable to film. Overall we felt the last three filming sessions went very well and we were extremely happy with the end result.
Filming
On Monday 1st, Tuesday 2nd November, Thursday 4th November we had our 6th, 7th and 8th filming sessions in which we were able to reshoot a number of shots that we felt weren't as good as we wanted them to be, helping to improve our film and make it appear more stylistic. We were also able to film a number of additional shots that we felt would work well with our film giving it more of a music video vibe.
The Motif of Colour
Throughout our music video we thought it best to keep our use of colour to a minimum so when it was used it remained extremely effective; this was part of our reasoning of putting the main bulk in black and white. Each of our sins were associated with a certain colour, although wrath (who turned out to be our protagonist) and lust had the same colour. We felt this would be effective as it would make the two inextricably linked and link Elliot even further to the six sins he meets. Envy was associated with green due to the cliche it holds and we hoped it would help our audience figure out for themselves that the antagonists he meets are in fact the seven deadly sins and the same applies to gluttony. We linked greed to gold due to the obvious connotations gold holds with money and wealth. Sloth we associated with the colour blue due to the connotations blue holds with calmness and coolness. As stated before, the colour used was kept to a minimum, we felt the black and white gave the film a more professional look and colour was therefore used only on impact. This conveyed to the audience the impact the sins were having on our central figure as they could literally change the colour of his world to the colour they represented. We felt it important to keep consistent wth out use of colour and this resulted in a lot of re-shoots having to be done so that all the sins could leave a mark. Although this was frustrating it definitely paid off and we are extremely happy with the result.
