Screen shots from my music video (inspiration for ancillary texts)

Second music video draft

 This is my second draft of my music video, however there are still blank spaces due to footage that I haven't yet shot. I'm filming more shots of Sadie tomorrow in a different outfit and trying to get a different range of shots such as long shots of her sitting on the floor.

During the first shooting with Sadie we projected different images and GIFs onto a back drop behind her as she lip synced to 'Vanessa', one of the ones we used is the album cover for Tame Impala who like Grimes, creates 'trippy' music. Their album cover for 'Innerspeaker' is designed by Leif Podhajsky who is an inspiration for my ancillary texts. The key theme in my video is mirrored images therefore I included a short clip of this scene at the end of my video.

In this second draft I aimed to continue the theme of having a range of girls as a convention of Grimes music videos are having several different female dancers around her such as in "Genesis" - (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FH-q0I1fJY)

Ancillary text influences and inspiration

This is my first draft of my music video, there are lots of blank spaces due to footage that I haven't yet shot. I'm not entirely happy with this draft and have lots of changes that I wish to make for my second draft. The first change I'm going to change is having a wider range of shots as so far I have only used close up and medium long shots. I am going to start filming again on Tuesday with Sadie and I'm hoping to get some extreme close ups and long shots as well as a change of outfit as this is a convention of music videos.

Health and Safety

As my two locations that I am shooting in are both indoors in studios and theaters there won't be many health and safety implications, such as there would be if I were to be filming outside where there are potential safety hazards. However, as I am using lights in the studios and a projector there is a potential danger of falling equipment. To ensure that this doesn't happen I will make sure that all equipment is secured and not loose. The chances of this happening are very low anyway.
