Photoshoot Slideshow


I CAN'T FIGURE IT - PHOTO SHOOT EDITS SLIDESHOW from Nicky Chapman on Vimeo.

Photoshoot for Digi Pak

Today we are heading over to Countersthorpe College for the Photo shoot of Chanan, for the digi pak. We have deiced to go Countersthorpe as it has a white screen and great lighting, which would maximise the quality of our pictures. Many costumes will be used, so that we could pick the best looking one, that would fit our specific look and the genre.


Photos will be uploaded soon!

Filming- Completed

Filming the footage if now finally all done, which is a huge relief. All scenes and filler shots are filmed to our best ability with ideas and contribution from all four members of our group.
However, the editing is yet to be completed, which is one of the hardest stages in making a video, because we would need to put everything in order, and make sure we get the message that we are creating across to audience as clear as possible. As we filmed, way more scenes and footage than we would ever need, this may make the editing slightly easier as we can pick and choose the best looking footage which would fit correctly into our music video, giving it the best look.
I will upload our the official and final version of ' I Can't Figure It' soon!

Last Scene - The Ending

Last night we filmed the very last scene of, Chanan walking up to his car, with someone opening and closing the door for his, after a long studio session. We believe this fits well with the documentary look we have gone for and would be a great way to show his success and put an end to the music video.
Below is a short clip on Ryan Leslie where this concept has been used.

Signing Scene - Problem!

Our original idea for the 'signing' scene was to use 'R Code' as it was practical for us to get too, and was perfect for the look we were going for. However, we were not able to gain permission from the owner as he believed, other customers would feel uncomfortable whilst we filmed our footage. As we dint have any back up places, we had to walk around to other local bars and restaurant, which would fit the image were going for, and ask for permission . Again we were rejected. Eventually we found a place called 'Natterjackers' which was luckily quite close to us and we gained permission to record there.
As it wasn't our first choice, it wasn't quite what we were looking for. On the other hand, as we were desperate to film, so that, we don't fall behind on our schedule, we shot the footage, which turned out great and looked a lot better than expected, which was a huge relief
