Behind the Scenes Images and justification

 

This is fourth look for the music video, here we tried to make her have a hybrid of edgy and girly vibes to play well with her fierce personality. To convey an edgy appearance we thought it would be suitable to use the leather corset belt however we also thought to demonstrate her figure and her curves in case we planned on using Laura Mulvey’s ‘Male Gaze’ theory. Moreover, for this look we agreed to do her make up girly therefore Sianna, makeup artist, to create ‘a simple glamorised look’ this would then portray her feminine side and show a different attitude to her with the ‘glamorised’ look.

For this shoot we travelled to Greenwich (London) to film within the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, however we got distracted by other various locations and decided to film in front of the ocean to capture the city lights. This shot summarises the location and what the protagonist looked like during the shoot. We decided to shoot in front of the landscape because we thought of the lights creating an orb and which lured her towards it, throughout the narrative the protagonist is lonely and capturing her going towards the light of the building was a great way of conveying the idea that she’s looking for something or someone in her life that gives her light.

 

 

 

 

This location was too filmed in Greenwich, however it was filmed in a little street, unfortunately we did not see a street sign therefore it is unknown. What drew our attention towards this location was the small space and the lights above the shops which again we thought was a good example of Goodwin’s ‘star’ theory as the lights and the long narrow pavement gave the impression of a ‘runway’ and therefore would allow the protagonist to act however she would like to give her the main focus. Also, we decided that this location was also great at identifying the artists cultural background and giving a sense of her love of home, this was present through the use of the shop signs, which can be seen in the video, the signs promotes British culture such as ‘British things’, etc. Not only does this reflect on Maslow’s ‘physiological needs’, of the artist reflecting on her home but allowing her audience to know her as a British artist.

In addition, are behind the scene images of the crew in Greenwich filming in the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. What was great about this location was that we believed it to be a great way to portray isolation and give the protagonist her ‘star’ moment (Andrew Goodwin theory). However, when filming in this particular location there were complications such as the crowd, which we tried to avoid by arriving late within the evening but we still captured many shots that we could potentially use to convey isolation between the protagonist and the rest of the world so that she could give direct address to the audience.
