Video Shooting

I shot my video over the weekend using my sister as the 'Rag Doll', my boyfriend as the camera man and myself as make up/scenery/producer! Preperation for the video took a while as I had to decide which scenes would be least busy to shoot in, track down a mannequin and camera tripod, find a red wig, and bribe my sister into the lead role.


We completed the filming in one afternoon - it started raining as we were finishing which was lucky. The only problem I discovered when watching the video clips back was that one scene (at the park) has the sun shining into the camera which has distorted the picture slightly.


I have shortened the Aerosmith "Rag Doll" song so that the intro is shortened and the singing comes into the advert earlier on. I also changed the ending slightly from my original storyboard by using a rag doll boy who cheers up when being given a top hat by the rag doll. I thought this ending was more fun than the group of girls in the storyboard as it portrays the clothes swapping idea more clearly.
Here is a little snippet from the filming yesterday!
