MD Brighton Reccie

The Brighton trip helped our group a lot when it came to deciding on a location. Although we feel Brighton is not the place that we wish to film, the experience has opened our eyes to the wide possibility of nearby locations. Not only did the trip show us a large place with potential places to film, it bought the group together enabling conversations to take place on ideas and possible actors that could feature within our production.

Some of the pictures taken as shown above are but some of the eye catching images of Brighton. For certain genres of video Brighton would work well as a location. ‘You Me At Six’ are a ‘rock pop’ band that we feel need a slightly more bright primary coloured setting rather than a windy sea side city that could suite more of a low budget style of Music Video.

The Brighton trip was also a good location for practicing different styles of shots, including MLS panning establishing shot for narrative/performance, use of high/low angle for performance, footage for sped up shot of character in crowd, POV handicam shot, 360 pan, tacking shot of character/performer walking in first person mode of address, a range of a CU’s suitable for instruments and at least two other shots of your own design.

In conclusion we as a group feel that the Brighton trip has been very helpful to our ideas of both locations and performance based shots of our chosen band. Also, the shots that we have practised have given us usage of equipment that is vital to the creation of our production.
