Camera Test

We used a camera test in order to find out whether the cast looks good on camera, is able to being directed and if the studio design works roughly. We also tried to recreate the set slightly by putting up chairs in rows in order create the feeling of a cinema or theatre. Then we let our actress perform while we played the music out loud. During this we told her to perform and gave her different emotional states which she had to express by dancingor facial expressions. We put our focus on weather she worked on camera and if an audience could connect with her. Even though if she was nervous and unprepared we came to the conclusion that she suited our style and genre. We tried out several shots and mad her turn up in front of the camera etc. wanted to find out if our actress suited the style and genre of the music video. We played the music out loud and told our artist to dance, move, and lip sync. This is what she will do in the actual shoot. She was supposed to act

playful and mysterious. We set up a simplistic version of our set which was a row of chairs and told Ruby to interact with her “double” which was placed on the chairs.

We told her to jump and hide under the chairs, suddenly turn up in front of the camera and dance. Ruby performed in front of the camera however she performed to her “double” sitting on the chairs. We changed camera angles and positions in order to find out which shot worked best.

We wanted to see if our acteres was able to convers with her "double" (her oserselve) and if the juxtaposition worked of he being enrgetic and loud and her otherself more observing. We looked for the best shot that would portail this meaning.

However we did not have the opportunity to test all of our artist. We decided to pick a dancer, drummer, gymnast. This would be advantageous for our quirky pop video. The 3 different elements make the stage performance more intereseting.

We are not able to put up a video of our camera test becauase the school system lost it. Otherwise it would be here
