Filming for the video was, I’d say an easier process than the film opening we did last year. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, you could direct your actor with spoken instructions whilst rolling the camera, as any sounds picked up by the microphone while filming didn’t matter, as the only audio going into the video is the song track and so any other audio could be deleted. This meant we could film in even the nosiest of places and not care about the background sound, unlike the two minute film opening last year.
However, because conventional music videos have a cut pretty much every second or two, it means we had to capture a lot more footage so we weren’t short when we came to the editing process.
Our first shoot was outside and inside a car park.
Part 1
Using our shot list as a guideline, we filmed about ten different shots of Mohammed running around.
