In a nutshell..

After looking through my posts, I noticed that I haven’t actually detailed the specifics of our spot- silly really!
Basically we will be shooting half in the studio and half on location. The idea is to flit between locations in time to our music, which features consecutive beats that will act as the catalyst for angle and scene changes. The studio shots will use both black and white backgrounds. In these shots our model will be swaying, rotating and making sharp movements, all of which will be speeded up, slowed down and mirrored in post-production. Hopefully, we will be able to incorporate a strobe light effect when we use the black background to create a flashing lights effect; it will also be an occasion to flit to and from locations and scenes within a blink of the eye. The studio will be a clean-cut, smooth part of the film, but the location frames will be gritty and grungy. We aim to shoot these locations in a marshy alleyway by our house or a grimey, dark, bricked archway under the railway. In these scenes I don’t visualize us using our model. I see the camera getting closer and closer zooming periodically in to the empty space, and at the end, the camera will snap to a close-up of the archway with the model now in shot. The music for our shoot is currently being edited to create more of a build up with a quickening pace and advancing, dramatic mood. The spot hasn’t necessarily got a narrative, just simply a build up with a dramatic end. It is a sequence of deranged, metamorphic movement broken down into post-production scenes of flashing lights, mirroring and slow motion. The incorporation of William Tempest is via the styling, which is dark and modern-gothic with sharp, geometric tailoring and streams of black fabric. Our make-up is focused on hallow cheeks and emphasizes dramatic eyebrows. The hairstyling is simply long, loose and dark.
I will put up the storyboard as soon as the scanner starts working again!!
