Test Shots

These three videos were experiments when it came to filming ideas when it came to the music video. Although there is a lack of lighting within the videos, I also like the effect which has been created by there being a lot of light at one side of the side, and no light at the other. The way the face is shown half light, and half shadowed relates back to the genre and effect of the song chosen for my music video. Although the model had a lack of preparation when it came to learning the lyrics for the test shots, he will be ready and will have learnt them when it comes to the actual music video - as well as other members. Another fault with these videos is the way the camera keeps losing focus and then gaining it once again, this effect will also not be happening when it comes to the music video being filmed. The face paint in this has a nice effect as it shows the parts of his face, which wouldn't have been shown if the model had his original skin tone showing. Another effect which I favour within these test shots is the red wall as the background, as it can connote danger - matching the war paint on the model's face which in my opinion is a decent combination.
