Car shots - Friday 18 November

Today we will be taking shots of the car. We have asked a friend in Uni to help us with drone shots. We have decided on the different shots. The idea is to take as many and on top of what we plan, improvise in order to give the editing process as much flexibility as possible,
We have asked a friend of ours to use his car, a Mercedes Benz S Class.

With interior lighting, we will be able to use different colours in order to enforce meaning into our music video. This with work well in creating a connection to the dancers.

Equipment includes:

Tripod x 2
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 750D
Stabiliser
GoPro Hero 4
DJI Phantom 4 Drone

The point of these car shots is to follow one of the hiphop/Trap conventions of showing off a 'whip' to show off status and wealth.

Examples include

 GTA ft. Vince Staples - Little Bit of This

Major Lazer - Night Riders (ft. Travis Scott, 2 Chainz, Pusha T, & Mad Cobra) (Official Music Video)

This shot will also be an opportunity to show the 3 artists in the song. While they won't actually have a part in the plot, it is often that producers and artists are present in the music video as if they were a prop.

Artist and producer Diplo, on Diplo x CL x RiFF RAFF x OG Maco - Doctor Pepper (Official Music Video) 

These are a few shots we took. We did the shots that we planned, and improvised further.

The drone belonged to a friend of ours, we told him what we wanted and Pooh and Ten directed the shots.
