Today we visited the Y studios as a potential place to film our band scene. The place provides all the equipment that will be needed to produce a band scene including a grand piano, guitar, drums and a microphone. The studios also comes with a singing/ recording booth in which we can film the lead singer in as well for a different location to film in. We have already planned to use the recording booth for the slow instrumental of the song, as this will be a secluded place, which is good at reflecting the song but also the main protagonist situation in the story line at the moment as well.
We are allowed to move around all the instruments and there is going to be special lighting installed in order to light up the band. Our plan is to have overall dark lighting with the band being lit up by strobe lights.The lighting will become stronger as we reach the key instrumental of the song.
There is black curtains already in the studios, but the manager has already organised to bring some more out in order to cover the whole room in black. We also will be moving the sofa and table in order to create more space. The window looking into the other room will also be covered in black cloth , which will fall over the floor to create a black floor.
If you look past the boy in the chair there you can see a purple painted photo booth which we will have access to film in. The space is small but that makes it more secluded and the purple background is the perfect colour,fitting into our overall colour scheme.
The studios also comes with many places where certain band members can chill out while we film certain close up parts of certain band members. This means the band can relax and it also helps us when we need to concentrate on certain members. Another bonus of hiring the place is that tea coffees and biscuits are free and unlimited!
We have decided to film our band here as it looks professional and offers a lot of opportunities in order to create a professional looking band scene.
