Music Video : Brief

During the AV workshops with Matt at the beginning of this brief, we agreed to organize and music video shoot with Tom Attah. Through this we would learn how to professionally record a music video or music performance with professional video and sound recording equipment. We were to use the Sony Fs7 film cameras that shoot in 4K and have the appropriate sound recording inputs with DSLR cameras lack.  We were to use condenser microphones to record his singing, and film in an appropriate setup with proper lighting.

I thought it was a beautiful way to film a performance and it was also similar to how Matt described our film to possibly look like, that is we were to use a smoke machine and spotlights as well as in this scene.
