Clouds

While doing our research we looked at the music video for Ben Howards Song The Old Pine and this give us some ideas for our music video. In the video there is various shots throughout showing the sky and the clouds moving in fast motion and we think this looked extremely good and because we are having the narrative of our music video to be about the female character reminiscing about her past relationship we think it would be a really good idea to try and use this type of thing in our music video to show the difference in time as well as it representing the change in the character since the relationship ended and how she is also moving on herself. We set up the camera in school outside of our media classroom and had it pointing at the sky. It was a relatively nice day so the sky was blue with clouds. We left the camera running for the majority of the lesson to try and capture as much movement in the clouds as possible so when we sped it up it showed a lot of fast change in the clip. However once we looked back over the footage it didn't show the clouds moving as much as we wanted to and the clip kept zooming in and out in order to try and pick something to focus on. We decided we will set the camera up again but pick a slightly windy day as this will give the clouds more movement. We will also switch the auto focus off the video camera and this should stop it from trying to focus and the clip will then be still. We considered possible places to set up the camera in order to get the best possible footage of the sky and we think it would be a good idea to set it up in one of our garden on a tripod. This will then stop anything from being in the footage we are recording and also give us more time to film and therefore better movement of the clouds once we speed it up.
