Our pictures fom sunday :)

Tilt shot of Chris doing a skateboard trick that could be a recurring theme throughout each skater in the video. We want as many different tricks as possible so that our music video looks professional. Chris' skate trainers, beanie hat, jeans, and white tshirt are generic Ska clothes.



This is Ross and Chris together. We asked Chris to wear a iconic british band Tshirt as we want our music video to have depth and meaning and we felt we could do this using intertextual references.



High angle mid shot of Ross and Chris's skateboards which we wrote the band name and track on and our groups names. This shot is perfect for the way we want to promote the band as they are wearing skater trousers and skater shoes and holding skateboards. The way we can't see their faces gives mystery (this reflects the mysterious track title 'who knew') and it also shows the way we don't want to sexualise any of our cast (especially the females). This also helps because Ross and Chris's faces could confuse fans of smaller than you because they are not in the band and wouldn't be recognised.



We chose Anglia Square as one of our locations because it reflects the underground, alternative nature of Ska music. However once we got there we found the best place to film lacked vibrant or interesting graffitti. We decided we wanted recurring images or graphics to promote Smaller Than You and so (with permission) we drew their name on the wall. However we did this halfway through filming and realised we couldn't include it because it wouldn't fit in with the continuity of the film.



This is another close up of Ross and Chris holding the skateboards with our graffitti behind them. We included Ross's body in this because of his intertextual Tshirt.



We have discussed using this close up as a still at the beginning or end of our music video to introduce it or for closure and to help the audience remember the band and track name so they can search and download it.
