Screen Test

This blog contains the screen test of actors that might be use for our music video, component 3. The content of this screen test was done by me (Tisha) while the videos were edited by Kimora. 

What is a screen test? 

As screen test are mostly use in order for directors to be able to see different actors performing a role that is needed. This screen test has a purpose as it allows to see actors perform and whether they are the right match or not.

For this project we decided to make a screen test that shows several people we think would be good and fits the criteria of our artist. The video below is our screen test of the people we ask to lip sync following the song, this was done to see people's confidence on screen and body gestures. 

Screen Test #1 -- Artist (Full Song)

Before we had the screen test, we already have an idea on what kind of actor that we want in a list which include: 

✔️ Is female, around 16-18 years old
✔️ Is confident and not camera-shy
✔️ Has charisma and star quality 
✔️ Will match the aesthetic we planned 
✔️ Is comfortable with love scenes that require close contact


Throughout the process of making the screen test, we didn't only ask girls to lip sync with the song but we also ask our friends who were guys too even though they do not fit in the list category. By doing this, it allows us to also see which would fit more better by having our options open. Where at the end we decided to pick with the #3 actor which is our friend and teammate Kellie. 

FINAL CHOICE: 
From all of the people that was in the screen test, Kellie was the one that fit exactly with our artist criteria especially from her personality. Kellie was also very expressive when lip syncing it as well as she was very confident, to which this skill would be good for our actors performance during the music video. 

---------------------------------------------------------------

Even though we needed to find our artist, we also need to find a guy that would fit the artist style as the person will need to be the artist lover. So we decided to ask several of our friends who were boys to say the line that the character will say which is "is this seat taken?". 

Screen Test #2 -- Love Interest 

As we have picked our artist being Kellie, we wanted to find a love interest character that would look perfect together to create a believable on-screen chemistry. So we followed a criteria of the love interest being: 
✔️ Is male, around 16-18 years old as well
✔️ Is confident and comfortable on camera
✔️ Is comfortable with love scenes that require close contact
✔️ Can act naturally/happily with Kellie

In oder to pick our love interest, we did an elimination process to narrow down the option as some people were uncomfortable to act out a love scene while some were also already in a relationship which would be awkward if they were to act the scene out together with Kellie. From these options, we also analyze them from their natural environment which include see how they talk the line in a friendly way but still showing confidence. We also eliminated people who were camera shy because if we were to choose them, they could create an unnatural feeling of the narrative. After a few discussion with my team, we decided on actor #4 being Karl. 

FINAL CHOICE
Karl has the most confidence in saying his line while as well have a good understanding of the scene which showed the best performance of being interested to the artist but at the same time friendly. Karl was also Kellie's close friends (which now has become boyfriend), which means they are able to act out love scene that require close contact without feeling awkward around each other. Because of their relationship together are close, creating the scenes will have an advantage as they would look more natural during on-screen relationship. With their connection, we decided to not create a chemistry test as they already know each other well without creating awkward scenes.

Reflection: Throughout creating this screen test it was not too challenging but it allow me to understand how important casting was in order to create a believable media product. Due to having limited people to cast, the team decided to make everyone also try out for the main artist role which include I needed to also lip sync the song. Even though it was a fun experience, I realize how it was a really hard thing to do. Both in acting out the confidence while lip syncing in order for audience to feel the artists emotion just through the visuals but at the same time they can feel the feeling from the narrative from both of the characters chemistry together. 

This screen test was a really important part of pre-production, because having a clear criteria of our actors it made it more simpler in deciding on our actors easily as well as it can become efficient during shooting the scenes. As our music video heavily focuses on performance as the main focus to express meaning to audience.

Classwork: Shooting + Performance Practice

This is the shooting and performance practice blog for component 3 discussing our process and how this helped us. Cassie performed and edited, Me (Tisha) and Kimora filmed. This blog was written by Cassie.

SHOOTING

/ˈʃuːtɪŋ/


noun | TRADEMARK

the process of filming a film


PERFORMANCE

/pərˈfɔːrməns/


noun | TRADEMARK

the act of performing a play, concert or some other form of entertainment



⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔

My group and I decided to practice our shooting and filming, specifically during performances since we had practiced how to film narrative scenes before in our first project (find out more on our *summary of first project blog* (put ur blog link)). Through our research on RNB songs such as Folded by Kehlani and Good Days by SZA, we found out that a large portion of RNB music uses performances in the majority of their music videos, whether that is lip-syncing or dancing. In order to create a music video that is dynamic and balances how much it conforms and subverts from RNB conventions, we felt as if practicing how to shoot and perform a music video or performance video would be beneficial. Music videos must hook the audience and keep them engaged throughout the whole song, and by doing this practice, we can learn how to create engaging shots to make our final video more interesting. Additionally, this can help us become more comfortable with filming and performing/acting throughout our process.



⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔



THE PROJECT


Me (Cassie) and some friends have been preparing a dance performance for a school event. I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn how to shoot this kind of dancing performance just in case we decided to have a performance-heavy video, especially in dancing since we had already memorized the choreography and blocking.


Me and my friends performed to Boy With Luv by BTS. Even though it is a K-Pop song and not RNB, I thought that the dance and performance styles are not drastically different (from a dancer's view). From a media view, I had to make sure that filming techniques between the two genres aren't too different. So, I decided to briefly research and compare the two, by watching the Boy With Luv music video, Boy With Luv performance video, and also the Folded Music Video. These videos are linked below:



Boy With Luv - BTS MV



Boy With Luv - BTS Performance Video



Folded - Kehlani MV


The main difference I found was that the Boy With Luv music videos had many different scenes and outfits which made the music videos more dynamic in general, and they included other performances such as lip-syncing and acting, meaning the choreography was not especially highlighted. They also had more narrative/story scenes.


The Boy With Luv performance video shows an actual performance by BTS to a crowd, meaning they focused more on the choreography and vocals of the performance. It's often shot in one take (or with minimal cuts), using different camera movements and angles to make it more dynamic. This is similar to one take style music videos like Justin Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat" or Ravyn Lenae's "Love Me Not"


Lastly, the Folded music video had little narrative and showed more of the dance, using multiple angles and a mix of lip-syncing to make the video more engaging. I ultimately determined the differences were not too significant and decided to continue with this shooting practice.



⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔


OUR PROCESS


Personally, I (Cassie) have experience in dancing as a dancer, along with facial expressions usually used in dancing. Kellie usually posts lip-syncing videos onto her TikTok, so she had some experience in that sense. Tisha and Kimora are more familiar with filming itself, since they often shot scenes for past projects. So, we decided to split our roles.


Cassie - Dancer/Performer along with her friends

❀  Tisha/Kim - Cameramen 

❀  Kellie - Unfortunately she was unable to join due to conflicting schedules


First, we all watched the 3 videos together to get an idea of what to expect and how to film performances. I also took note on how the dancers lip-synced and made facial expressions to enhance their performance. Then, my friends and I decided to practice the choreography a few times, so we can make sure we remember it and so Tisha and Kim can familiarize themselves with our dance and positions. Finally, we decided to film it.

ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES



Benefits

Limitations

Allowed us to practice filming performance scenes with many different camera movements/angles which can help improve performance filming in our music video if there is any

We did not have access to multiple cameras as we only had one phone with sufficient storage for filming, meaning we did not take videos from multiple angles to make a more dynamic video, and could only do a one-take continuous video as it’s hard to dance with many cuts 

Helps us become more comfortable performing, and allows us to gain more knowledge on how to do a dance performance to create specific meaning if needed in our music video

If we decide to not have many performance scenes, especially dancing, our practice will not be as useful as anticipated

Allows us to create a good RNB style dance scene if needed, which can help us conform to conventions and make our video more recognizably RNB

Minimal editing was used for this one-take video, meaning we didn’t get to practice too many editing techniques


⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔


REFLECTION: Creating this shooting and performance practice allowed my team and I to be familiarize with what to expect in the making of this music video. Even though this activity was not a music video but being able to capture performance like this will help me to work with my camera movement, especially the one take camera shoot. Where from this practice, I was able to reflect from what I can do better for the music video.


Overall, I believe this practice was important especially as it can help in making me being comfortable with shooting performances as well as being prepared with what will come during the making of the music video project. Having this extra knowledge and experience will really help in making a more smooth and clean music video where audience would feel interested and 'wow' with the camera movement / editing.

Throughout these shoot, each member has their own role during the shoot. Where Cassie is in charge for helping Kellie in wardrobe to follow our moodboard as well as Cassie helps in bringing props. Kimora is in charge for props as well and she helps in test filming before the shot to see the perfect location. Kellie has a role in being the actor in which she needed to remember the lyrics as well as in most of the music video it is shot in a POV perspective which means Kellie needs to also use camera to film as well.

*During the photobooth scene, they provide several accessories that can be use in the picture which we decided to use for a POV shot of the actors.

After the break, the team and I decided to start on recording again where we created a different filming schedule that specifically for the rest of the shot needed. This filming schedule was created by me (Tisha)

Lip syncing with a white background shows more professionalism. Photoshoot was done for Instagram pages such as the billboard and magazine cover. 


Kellie was away longer than the scheduled school break, we had to delay filming and lost one week of shooting time. Because of this, on some of our shooting days, we filmed multiple scenes at different locations in a single day to make up lost time. Doing this made it more efficient to capture all the footage needed. However, it increased the duration of the editing process.

Reflection: The filming schedule was very important for my team and I, as it helped us manage our time efficiently and stay organised. We had eight weeks to finish this project and the schedule helped us remain on track and divide our time wisely, especially as we had to balance filming and editing with our other schoolwork. It ensured that we did not leave everything last minute but instead distributed our tasks evenly over time. This made the process less stressful for us to handle. We also created a checklist for each scene to ensure that all props and equipment were properly prepared in advance of meeting on set, so that no time was wasted on unnecessary delays.

I also felt that our schedule improved our teamwork. Each of us had our own specific roles and everyone understood their responsibilities beforehand, making the filming process run smoothly with minimal confusion. I also learned to be more flexible, regularly adjusting the schedule to accommodate everyone's busy timetables, as not every scene required the full group. This helped me learn how to adapt quickly to sudden changes and work more effectively depending on the situation. 

However, there were still some challenges that I faced. For example, there was a time when Karl and Kellie were late which caused unnecessary delays and resulted in lost filming time. This disrupted the flow of our schedule that day and initially made me frustrated. Communication also became difficult as both their phones had died and we were in a large park in Renon. As a result, we spent a significant amount of time trying to locate them, further reducing our filming time. Despite these setbacks, we were still able to fit multiple scenes that day and successfully completed our planned tasks. 

Overall, this experience helped me realise the importance of creating and sticking to a filming schedule. Even though we faced several setbacks, it kept us organised and on track, allowing us to stay close to our original plan and completing the project smoothly.

Location Scout and Risk Assessment

This blog contains the location scout and risk assessment of the music video component 3 project. This blog was made by Kimora but I (Tisha) help with adding the events in the scene explanation also with some of the location scout.

                                 Location 1: Record Cafe – Analogue Listening Space & Vinyl Cafe

Record Cafe – Analogue Listening Space & Vinyl Cafe

Location Link:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/FswDuW8kgAhxwu768

Events in scene:

What will happen? 

In this location this is when the first scene and the last scene will happen. Where the first scene shows both the artist and another character that plays as the artist's partner will have their first interaction meeting each other. Where the last scene will be showing both the artist and the partner spending time and getting to know each other. 

Pros of location:

This location has the feeling that we are going for, especially: 

  • Vintage props in the location; the black sofa and wooden chair help emphasize the old vintage feeling. 

  • Good lighting; with good lighting it would be easier for us to do simple lighting edit to match with the aesthetic we want to do.

Cons of location:

This location is known to be hidden gem; but we know this place from our friend in which: 

  • Public space; the place may have other people that will be there using the place as it is a public space, in which we might need to ask permission from everybody who will be present in the background which can take a long time to get their consent.

Alternatives:

What other locations can you shoot at if there are issues here?

To follow the same aesthetic of record cafe that we want to do, alternative places would be: 

  • Vinyl Coffee Bar

  • Old Friends Coffee at Kj House Records

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

What dangers are there?

  • Cables on the floor may cause tripping

  • Electrical hazards from plugs or cables

  • Risk of disturbing other customers in the cafe

  • Limited space which could lead to accidents while filming

  • Waitress working, which we might not see when we are filming so we could bump into them 

Evaluate risks: 

What bad things could happen?

  • Team members or actors could trip on cables

  • Minor electric shock if cables are not safely organized

  • Noise interference from customers could affect the audio quality 

  • Equipments or cafe property could get damaged if drinks spill

Control measures:

How will you prevent these from happening?

  • Avoid areas with a lot of cables and if there are cables, it should be placed or set aside properly to clear out the area for recording. 

  • Keep drinks and food away from the filming equipment to reduce chances of broken equipment.

  • Inform cafe staff that we will be recording in a certain area so they would not try to serve us during the shoot.

Responsibility:

Who will be in charge of the control measures?

Team members - we will make sure before shooting our scene we will do a location check before we start such as: 

  • Making sure all cables are placed neatly

  • Creating a clear and organized filming area 

  • Informing cafe staff that we will be recording in order to gain permission

  • Team members that are available will also monitor the space during filming to prevent accidents. 

  • Testing equipment such as microphones before filming to ensure that the background noise does not affect the audio quality, as well as camera to ensure good lighting so we would not need to do the shoot twice. 

Time frame:

When will you have the control measure in place?

All control measures will be controlled and set up before filming begins on the day of the shoot. Once we arrive, we will monitor the area and try to organize cables and test the audio quality to ensure that the filming area is safe and clear.

Other notes:




                                                            Location 2: Peninsula Island

Peninsula Island

Location Link:

https://share.google/EWvKOPmG81L7SBjO0 

Events in scene:

What will happen? 

In this location it would be used to show one of the artist's date locations with the partner in the music video to show their connection and also builds connection between the artist and the music video aesthetic. Here they will be having interactions such as talking, running around and looking at the sea. 

Pros of location:

This location has the feeling that we are going for, especially: 

  • Overall location setting; this place has both a park and a cliffside overlooking the beach. It makes it more efficient for us to film making it look like the artist is in two different locations with two different feelings to it. 

  • Away from the crowds; as this location is sort of a hidden gem which means that not a lot of people have come to the place in which this would be good for our filming where there won't be any background characters 

Cons of location:

As this location is outside, there are several things that can be bad for our shoot like: 

  • Weather Condition; it may be windy and it could affect the audio quality if we plan to add natural sound or dialogue. Especially as the weather recently has been bad as there is rain that happens almost every day. 

  • Location Setting; uneven ground may make it difficult to place props or equipment. There is also limited shade with no facilities for resting and to protect ourselves from unexpected weather conditions like a very hot day and rain. when we do get tired from shooting and 

  • Charging; with this place being outside this could mean there will especially be no place to charge our equipment if it dies. 

Alternatives:

What other locations can you shoot at if there are issues here?

  • Melasti beach 

  • Pandawa beach

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

What dangers are there?

  • There aren’t railings or safety signs on the cliffside 

  • Strong wind 

  • Uneven ground

  • It may rain since its currently Bali’s rainy season

Evaluate risks: 

What bad things could happen?

  • Team members or actors could slip or fall 

  • Props or equipment could be damaged by wind or sand

  • Props or equipment can be damaged by the rain

  • It can cause poor audio quality caused by the wind

Control measures:

How will you prevent these from happening?

  • Keep a safe distance from the cliff edge

  • Use weights to stabilize tripods or camera

  • Attach microphones to actors

  • Check the weather and wind conditions before filming

Responsibility:

Who will be in charge of the control measures?

Team members - we will make sure before shooting our scene we will do a location check before we start such as: 

  • set up safety boundaries

  • check the equipment stability

  • check the weather forecast

  • check the microphones to see if the audio quality is not affected by the wind.

Time frame:

When will you have the control measures in place by?

All safety and audio control measures should be completed before the filming starts and the weather check must be checked a day before the shoot.

Other notes:




                                                           Location 3: Seminyak Beach

Seminyak Beach

Location Link:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/3cay1E6LfKD6mbec6 

Events in scene:

What will happen?

In this location the beach will be used to show a closer connection between the artist and the partner, such as activities like; walking along the beach, talking while the sunset is shown in the background, and they could play in the water. This scene will be shown at the last chorus to give a good ending effect of the ‘day dream’ we are going for.  

Pros of location:

This location is different than the other beach that we will go as it has several pros such as: 

  • Good scenery; Seminyak beach is well known for its sunset views, so it will be great to incorporate this to our music video, and it also aligns with our moodboard.

  • Natural lighting; the natural light from the sunset can match the music video’s moodboard and aesthetic, this would also mean that we won't have to add extra lighting and bring more equipment.

Cons of location:

This location is known for a tourist destination in which: 

  • Public space; it can be crowded during the sunset hours making it more difficult to film without people passing by or disturbing the filming process.

  • Weather Condition; It can be very windy, so the props or the actor’s hair can be blown away, which would lead to doing multiple re-takes. 

Alternatives:

What other locations can you shoot at if there are issues here?

  • Kuta beach

  • Sanur beach 

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

What dangers are there?

  • Waves could come unexpectedly and get the equipment or props wet

  • Strong wind could affect the audio quality or blow away the props or equipment

  • Rocks or uneven sand could cause someone to slip or fall

  • Crowds or tourists may accidently walk into the filming area

  • It can possibly rain due to the rainy season

Evaluate risks: 

What bad things could happen?

  • Equipment or props could be damaged by water, sand or wind

  • Team members or actors could slip or fall

  • Poor audio quality can be caused by wind

  • Disruption or delays caused by people entering the filming area

  • The sunset can be blocked due to the rain or dark clouds

Control measures:

How will you prevent these from happening?

  • Check the tide and weather forecast a day before filming

  • Find a less crowded area to film

  • Find an area with smaller waves and steady ground

Responsibility:

Who will be in charge of the control measures?

Team members - we will make sure before shooting our scene we will do a location check before we start such as: 

  • check the weather and tide forecasts a day before the shoot

  • test the microphones for the audio quality

  • avoid areas with bigger waves and rocks

  • find an area with less crowds

Time frame:

When will you have the control measures in place by?

All control measures will be prepared before the filming starts on the day of the shoot. Once we arrive, we will find an area with smaller waves and we will also test the audio quality

Other notes:




                                                                Location 4: Renon Park

Renon Park

Location Link:

https://share.google/itBQVQPqluaLsaEb6 

Events in scene:

What will happen?

In this location it would be used to show one of the artist's date locations with the partner in the music video to show their connection and also builds connection between the artist and the music video aesthetic. Here they will be having interactions such as talking and walking their dog.

Pros of location:

This location will be another park that we wanted to do but it has its advantages like: 

  • Location; the location is quite near to where our team members and actors live, so it can be very easy to access and if we need reshooting we can do it easily.

  • The park allows visitors to bring pets, which allows us to follow our plan of filming the artist walking her dog with her partner

Cons of location:

Even though this location will be a good place to shoot but there are several setbacks we need to consider such as;

  • Constructions; there are currently constructions for the jogging tracks which limits our accessibility in filming in different areas of the park

  • Public Place; it can be very crowded during peak hours, which makes it difficult for us when we need a shot of the artist alone without people interfering in the scene

  • Weather Condition; it will be very hot during less busy hours, actors can be sweaty when filming during these hours which can reduce the appeal of the artist’s appearance and the overall music video

  • Noise Surrounding; It can be noisy as it is next to the main road, so it will be difficult to obtain good audio quality for our scenes.

Alternatives:

What other locations can you shoot at if there are issues here?

  • Lumintang park

  • Puputan park

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

What dangers are there?

  • Uneven grass or walking areas, some jogging tracks are under construction

  • There are many people cycling or skating during busy hours 

  • It can potentially rain

Evaluate risks: 

What bad things could happen?

  • Team members or actors can trip or get injured from the uneven grass or walking areas

  • Team members or actors could bump or crash into people cycling or skating

  • We won't be able to film if it rains

Control measures:

How will you prevent these from happening?

  • Try to film during less busy hours

  • Find areas in the park where there are no construction

  • Check the weather forecast a day before the shoot

Responsibility:

Who will be in charge of the control measures?

Team members - we will make sure before shooting our scene we will do a location check before we start such as: 

  • Check for areas with safe pathways and no constructions

  • Check the weather forecast a day before the shoot

  • Find a less crowded area to film

Time frame:

When will you have the control measures in place by?

Some control measures like checking the safety of the park and finding less crowded areas will be done as soon as we reach the destination while for checking the weather, it will be checked a day before the shoot.

                                                                 Location 5: Sindhu Market

Sindhu Market

Location Link:

https://share.google/5b0VjHHeRXeRrGBgi

Events in scene:

What will happen?

In this location it would be used to show one of the artist's date locations. Here they will be having interactions such as walking around the market, talking and buying food or souvenirs from the markets. Some short POV digicam scene being shoot here as well. 

Pros of location:

This will be the only market place that we choice to use because; 

  • Free; there is no entry fee, so we will not spend money for this scene excluding personal expenses. 

  • Location; there is an indoor area, so we can still film if it rains and it’'s easy for our team members and actors to access this place since its near to where they live

  • Cheap; food and souvenirs are cheap and affordable so when we need to use some food for the scene we will not need to spend too much. 

Cons of location:

Especially as this market is quite known by people, this may be a challenge because: 

  • Public Space; it can be crowded during busy hours, making it difficult to film.

  • Location; the food stalls are mostly outdoors, so it can potentially rain so we may not be able to shoot if this happens.

  • Disruption; as we will be shooting it can potentially disturb the customers or visitors.

  • Background Noise; the background noise of the busy market can affect the audio quality.

Alternatives:

What other locations can you shoot at if there are issues here?

  • Ubud market

  • Kuta market

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

What dangers are there?

  • it can potentially rain due to the rainy season that has been happening this past couple of days

  • narrow / crowded pathways 

  • heat and humidity

Evaluate risks: 

What bad things could happen?

  • we won't be able to film if it rains

  • we can potentially bump or trip in narrow or crowded pathways

  • it will be difficult to film in crowded areas, we would have to do multiple re-takes if there are many interference from other people

  • the heat can cause the actors to sweat which can affect their appearance and appeal

Control measures:

How will you prevent these from happening?

  • film during less busy hours or less busy days of the week

  • check the weather forecast a day before filming

  • film in open areas with larger space

  • bring portable fans incase if it gets hot while filming

Responsibility:

Who will be in charge of the control measures?

Team members - we will make sure before shooting our scene we will do a location check before we start such as: 

  • check the weather forecast a day before the shoot

  • check for less crowded areas to film

  • ask food stalls for consent to film

Time frame:

When will you have the control measures in place by?

to check the weather, we will check a day before the shoot, and for the other control measures, we will check and find a place to film as soon as we reach the location

Other notes:



Reflection: Searching for the location that we want to do our music video in was a challenge as we had to think about several pros and cons of the location and we also had to think about whether it is realistically possible to do with the short amount of deadline to film with the actors. So we made two different categories where one location is far but has the aesthetic that we want and another category is a location that is rather closer to where we live so we can record easily. The problems that we had to deal with was whether the location would be realistic or not but we decided to just put the location in for now and we will go the the further location first then we will record to the location that is closer to us. Especially with the weather condition the past couple of days we were very afraid when we will shoot it will start raining so we decided to plan backups like bringing umbrella and try to make our places to be a more indoor location.
