Smoke Scene Shoot

After the initial set backs I finally filmed the scene for the bridge of the song which involved Enola Gaye Smoke grenades. I used a Panasonic ac-ag90 and at first i did some test shoots to get familiar with the camera although as i was just leaving it on a tripod i just had to adjust the zoom and click the recording button. As i only had 2 smoke grenades i had to get the footage right the first time, there was no room for mistakes as smoke grenades are expensive and hard to get. Overall i was extremely pleased with how the smoke grenades looked and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of smoke they made, however my model found it extremely hard to keep her eyes opened the entire time as smoke kept hitting her face so you can see her pulling faces in the recordings. Another problem i had to deal with were the passersby, thankfully most of them waited till i finished shooting nevertheless there was a dog walker that came into frame towards the end of the film.

Filming Delays

Due to the props not being all bought at the same time i was unable to shoot everything back to back. I had to wait for each one of the props to come through the mail as well as costume.

A lot of the scenes had to be re-film as well due to the poor camera quality of my original footage which was another time consuming hurdle along with the lack of natural sunlight in the winter months.

Smoke Grenades

As the bridge is the darkest part of the song i decided that my artist would transition in the music video to embrace this dark side. After brainstorming a few idea i decided to stick with the same location so the fans wouldn't get confused as to why the location changed, instead she's going to remain lost in the woods but has now accepted her fait with her evil lover. To achieve that i made her costume head to toe black and got the idea to put a mask on her whilst watching The Purge, to give her a more sinister look. 

Whilst browsing through tumblr i came a cross a few pictures of people holding smoke grenades and i thought it would make a great reference to her being lost as people often use smoke grenades to signal their location. The smoke will not only signify that she's lost, they will also be allude to her foggy morals as she gives into her lovers bad ways.
