Waiting All Night.
For a music video we wanted to show a group off friends out having a laugh and doing exciting things. We decided as a group to spend the day up London. We went to may different location, filming little clips off what we done throughout the day, unfor we couldn't film on the train or tube as it was too packed and didn't have enough room to film. However we filmed when we got out the station and things we enjoyed doing through out the day. We took many types of travel to get around London exploring the life. There Wasn't a main target in what we filmed, we just had the camera on for most the day and then filmed what we felt was what was best. getting differnt people from our group to film different parts so everyone was in our video. We mainly took different clips off the scenery and what was going on around us so the viewer could get the feel off what we was doing. We feel our day was very successful and we go the message we went out to achieve.
weeks.
Day 1:
This was when we first decided on what we would produce for our music video. we had many different ideas but as a group came up with a final idea.
Day 2:
we started to make a plan on what we would film and where we would film different parts, we collected all the information on where we needed to go and also we set out a plan for travel as we would be traveling all across London, we made sure we new where we was going and at what time we wanted to be there.
Day 3:
we collected all different types of equipment we would need throughout the filming process. however we only took a limited amount of equipment with us due to it being difficult to travel around London with large amounts.
Day 4.
This is the day we decided to film our music video, we took our plan and traveled up to London, we all filmed different part of what happened to the day giving our filming a few more characteristics within in the filming technique. we made sure we stuck to our schedule as we wanted to film everything we could before it got to dark.
Day 5:
we looked at the footage that we had produced, we liked our filming however we felt that we didn't have enough to have the small snappy clips we was wanting to incorporate into our music video.
Day 6:

Hype Williams had a specific style when filming music videos. This style was to use a fish eye camera lens which distorted the camera view around the central focus. This has been used in artists videos such as busta rhymes. Another style involves placing shots in regular widescreen ratio, while a second shot is split and placed in the upper and lower bars. This is a technique often used by Hype which allows his videos to be dynamic, multi diminutional as opposed to having static camera angles. These styles used by Hype are used in more than one genre as they ad good effect to every video. Hype doesn't specifically work with a certain artist. He works with many other artists, but tends to stick to hip hop artists as hip hop is what he knows best. A good example of the styles he uses is in Missy Elliots video the rain.
