Rehearsals with Singers

Prior to shoot day, we felt it was necesary to get together with both male and female singers and do rehearsals of the song in preparation for the shoot day. Throughout this day, we brainstormed ideas of how we would film certain shots in our specific locations and targeted which scenes we would need to devote more time to in order to focus on getting the narrative to come across in the correct way.

In order for our shoot day to be efficient and successful, the singers spent that day learning the lyrics to the song. We felt this was a key part of the process as we did not want to keep stopping throughout the filming for both singers to be constantly looking at the lyrics on a phone/laptop. Furthermore, we include several shots of guitar playing in our video so we also used this day to ensure our guitar player knew all the relevant cords to play to ensure that it was quick and easy on shoot day.

Overall, we felt this day really helped our group as it was a great way to prepare for shoot day and also for the group to bond. This day enabled the process of filming to be much quicker and is the reason why we shot the majority of our video all in one day.
