We have a series of photos below that we took on my phone showing some of the set up in the studio. The first photo is of the professional studio lighting system we used. The including 5 lights in total around the performer. You can see two of the lights in the second photo. In this second photo you can see the microphone stand and XLR cable we used to add realism to the studio recording. As if you are recording in a studio you would not be able to record audio from the mic without a cable. This gives the impression that we are live recording the performer in this scene.
The third photo is showing my laptop setup on Spotify to allow us to play the Sterophonics track in the background while recording, which helped us and the performer lip sync up to the original track. We placed the laptop behind the curtain, connected up the audio speakers in the room.
The final two photos show the camera we used in shot. (A Sony HDV-Z5E) This was placed onto a tripod then on the track we had practiced with before. This allowed us to produce lovely sweeping side to side shots. Which gave interest into each shot. As you can see in the photo on the left, Dan is adjusting the light high to make sure there isnt too much lens flare on the camera, and giving the performer more light from behind. I am also in the shot adjusting another light further around the room to give the performer more light from the side (lighting up the side of his face). The photo on the right shows me recording one of the five takes that we did. I am adjusting the shutter speed on the camera, as because there were soo many lights, it was making the recorded image washed out, so using a high shutter speed frame rate it reduced the washed out effect in the video.
Below is the studio edit of our music video.
