Preparation

BATH & BEDROOM SCENE

Initial Preparation For The Bathroom Scene

This shot is of our actress applying a dark, black eyeliner under her eyelids. This was done intentionally to make the actress appear as if she has been crying therefore causing her makeup to smudge.

This is the first attempt after applying the eyeliner and as a group we decided that the eyeliner was not effective enough so the actress began to apply more on the top.

BATH & BEDROOM

This is the scene after Niamh has engaged in a shameful act.

 Whilst we was filming within my bedroom, we wanted to be sure of how to control the lighting and what the outcome would look like on the camera as a result of us adjusting the lighting.

And here is what the outcome looked like which we thought was good enough considering it was daylight outside.  However, as our group has decided to edit our music video into black and white, we discovered that the shot looked too dark as you could barely see my face within the shot.

As the room was too dark we decided to open the bedroom door to let in some natural light and this is how the bedroom now looked.

When I had to film within the bed we then realised that there was not enough light to show the expressions on my face and the tears running down my face and so we decided to use a bedside lamp which was perfect as it allowed us to show my facial emotions whilst acting

 

Here is a video of us controlling the light within the bedroom scene:
