Problems that we faced with our actors

Blue Smoke Grenade

We have decdied to use a smoke grenade in our music video as we had been influence by other videos such as Rihanna- We Found Love and Miley Cyrus- We Can't Stop. We believe it will give our music video an extra aspect to make it more interesting for our audience. We have decided to buy a blue colour as it contrasts against the green setting making it stand out.

We bought the smoke grenade from a company called 'Enola Gaye'. They have a wide variety of colours, however we believed that blue would stand out the most. When we recieved it through the post, we checked the rules on the side and it stated that it was an offence to use it in a public place. We had to respect this, therefore we used it in a private and enclosed area.

Here is the original footage when we filmed the smoke grenade. We shot it on a camera phone as we did not feel comfortable filming on the other camera as it was very muddy on the day we filmed and we did not want to slip and drop the camera.

 

We believe that by using a smoke grenade in our music video is a very effective way to draw in audiences as it is unique and by using editing techniques can make it look very effective in the music video.

Risk Asessment

Weather

To make sure that we are aware of all the possible stepbacks that could prevent us from filming on a scheduled filming day we are checking any thing that we could think could go wrong and stop us from filming. One of the main concerns we have is the weather, we are hoping that the weather for our filming isnt going to be too cold because of the minimal clothing that our actors are going to wear. The costumes we have chose for our actors show off a lot of skin which conveys voyeurism which is a convention of our genre of music video.We also may have to film over a few days therefore meaning if we have to use the same location and costume on seperate days the weather has to be the same otherwise the editing will not flow and it will look bad that the weather is different.
