More Recording

During the past couple weeks I have been thinking of several was to increase the amount of footage for our music video. I organised a three female break dancing group for the music video. When we came to the recording day (Today) I managed to persuade a male freestyle break dancer to increase the footage as well.

Manny came to the recording as well and we both came with a mutual understanding that if we changed the song to a more up beat song it would make it easier for the dancers. Manny and me agreed to changed the song to begging by Madcon. This songs relates to the idea behind of having the two actors being in trouble and yet not caring. With this song the main focus has changed from it being about their love to more about the male actor begging Lil D not to break up with him instead.

Our first footage was based in school and wanted to get away from the school setting so when I got all the dancers together working together to try and come up with a routine I decided it would be best if they danced out doors because we would get some bright lighting and also it makes it seem less choreographed. The female dancers got to wear masks and this made it possible for the people who watch the music video thing that maybe one of the dancers is in fact Danielle a.k.a Lil D. The idea of the female dancers wearing masks also helps to keep a bit of mysteriousness to who the actors are.

Overally the recording for more footage went well and I am very pleased with what we recorded and I think that the footage we got today and the one we had already got our music video will turn our good. Now to the editing
