OUR VINYL SHOOT

The shoot of our spinning vinyl was a success. We decided to use a vinyl in our video because it helped us to achieve a retro feel in the mise-en-scene.

In the set up, we had some problems achieving the levels of light needed for capturing our footage, however, we found that the best way to achieve it was to use natural lighting instead of our own.

Here are some of our stills in the shoot, showing the different lighting in different parts of the room:

LIGHTING UP THE KEYS

Indietronica typically contains heavy use of keyboards and synthesisers, which is why my group and I decided to further this concept by lighting up the keys on the synthesiser (the one used in the video by singer) in different colours. 

 



We took this influence from the Michael Jackson's video for Billy Jean: When Michael Jackson walks through the streets, the slabs on the pavement light up. We have cut these images to the beat to tie in with the codes and conventions and to tie in with the art-house/neo-psychedelia theme.






We used green, red, blue and yellow as our primary colours:
