Reflection of Day 2 filming - Lady Pearl

 

Today we filmed in Shoreditch. We filmed in Brick Lane because it is known best for its iconic graffiti locations and hipster/urban ambience.

We filmed in front of 3 different exterior graffiti backdrops:

1) Silver, Gold and black Elephants 

2) box graffiti on the stairs 

3) pink blue and purple graffiti 

- Silver,Gold and black Elephants 

Here we filmed almost every shot static. We filmed 3 low angle shots. One from the left, one from the right and the one dead centre. We did this so that we can make it look like the camera was moving from right to left during the jump cuts. After that we filmed once with slightly more movement in order to get more dancing shots and to Coke much close to Fleek E as all of the others were profile shots that were quite a bit of a distance away

2) box graffiti on the stairs 

Now we weren't originally going to film on these steps but I had an image of how perfect it could potentially be for the music video, so I decided to film one base track here - mainly as a test because nobody really understood my vision- which was fine! But also because it really smelt and we wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible!

The Pink, blue and Purple graffiti

Here Michella filmed one base track as we were literally on our way back but thought it was a perfect backdrop for our synergy as the graffiti contained a crown, just like all of our digipak drafts and also the previous black gold and silver backdrop. This shot had continuous skilled camerawork which also correlated with the dance movements. Funnily enough, we gained quite an audience whilst filming this base track with a lot of people wanting to know what exactly we were doing! One man asked for more information on Fleek E so that he knows about her before the rest of the world does, but it's a bit too late for that.. ;) #FleekENation

Everyone who did not walk through the video shoot whilst we filmed actually said some really positive feedback and continued to comment on how good of a performer Fleek E is! We all knew that...
