Our Preliminary Task

After looking back on our prelim task, we descided that it was too dark and not up to our standards. We went back to imove and looked back at it again and released that our background was
This is our preliminary task. We chose the song Diamonds by Rihanna as we think it links to our genre well. It was suitable to film on just a green screen. We chose a section from the music video that was striaghtforward to film without using lots of different locations. Filming was simple but when it came to the editing process we had to overcome some problems, one main thing being the backdrop. When we decided what background to use, we originally wanted an empty dark room, but we later realised that the height the photo was taken from was at a higher angle than our height from filming. We over came this by experimenting with plain backgrounds which worked better than trying to create a set. We chose the black background as it suited the mood and style of the original music video. If we could do this again, we would improve the mise en scene to mirror the original music video which can give us more practice for our main coursework project.
