In class we were put into groups and given the task to create a video based of the brief we chosen and the video had to be in the genre of film noir. We decided that we could not use the normal film noir conventions because this is rarely done in music video. So we then made a video that was more of a spoof of a film noir with the black and white filter and to play around with lighting, rather than focussing on the soundtrack that a typical film noir would have.
To create the shadow effect seen in the video we placed the light in specific points behind the camera so that the shadow could either been seen more clearly or in a different position. This proved difficult as we discovered playing with light does not always work out the way you planned and so this take sup a lot of time trying to get right. We used a variation of lights which included key light and a back light. This helped create a stronger shadow with the backlights mainly being our phones which we could spread out a lot.
Overall this task has helped me understand the challenges of creating a film noir music video and also a music video in general. This is because its hard to get the right pacing of shots that you need to ensure that the music matches them in post production and so re shoots for certain shots had to take place for this reason. This task has given me an insight in what I will need to do and achieve when creating my own music video concept.
