Filming performance

We felt that our music video needed to fit in with forms and conventions of real media products of More Than Conqueror's genre, so we thought we would include a band performance into the music video. We felt that our performance location needed to link with the lyrics of the song we had as well as the plot for our video. After searching for a place to film we finally discovered an empty storage unit in the Conway Mill on the Falls Road. After discovering this place and checking with the management if we would be able to use it, we immediately set out on arranging a date to film with More Than Conquerors, who were more than willing to appear int he video. So on the 20th March, my group and I went to the Conway Mill to set up and prepare the filming are for the band. Luckily we were able to use the run down furniture that was inside the storage unit to create the set, and effectively link it with the video's idea of home.



When More Than Conquerors arrived we helped them to set up their instruments and amps, and brief them on our filming schedule, and the certain shots we would need, as well as where we would be placing them. After several hours of filming we had successfully covered all of our shots on the list we had, as well as filming a few more shots just to create a wider variety to give us more a chance of finding the perfect shot.
