I realised we needed to film more closeup lip synching footage as all we had up to this point was long shots. As I am playing the main character in the music video it was easy for me to do this filming on my own with the help of a tripod.
I found a wall with decorative flocked wallpaper in my house and used this as the background. There were initially unwanted objects at the side of the frame but I knew I could crop these out in post-production.
As the only part of my costume showing would be my top I decided on a simple white peter-pan collar blouse. This ensured the colour wouldn't clash with either the turquoise wallpaper or the red lipstick which has been a recurring feature throughout filming.
I filmed myself from the waist up against the flocked wallpaper, lip-synching the whole song so when it came to editing I could pick and choose which part of the song to use that setting for.
After this I decided that an extreme close-up would also be a good idea as facial features would look impressive on the HD camera we used. I went through the same process as before, filming myself lip-synching the whole song but this time with an extreme closeup.
I did this a third and final time but this time with an extreme close up of just my mouth as I lip-synched the song.
Now I have watched the footage back i'm extremely happy with how it has turned out, and i'm positive it will be an effective addition to our final video.
