Today we filmed an inspired idea that we had , filming me holding up 'text cards' as the lyrics were sung on the song and chucking them away as they had been sung. We had already created these text cards, just with clear simple writing of the lyrics on them, we used fairly neutral colored cards. We tried this idea a fair few times, also trying it at different angles, with ideas like close ups , etc.
We then decided to film me miming playing the guitar. In our song there is a clear change of instrument in the song, and that marks the songs change in pace etc, from slow and emotional to upbeat and syncopated. So we though it'd be a good idea to use both these instruments in a shot even if it was only for a few seconds. We again tried different angles with these, it was a hard task for me personally as I'm no guitar player so without knowing what to actually play I had to improvise, so we did have to do a few takes of this miming.
Here is some pictures of the props that we used today....
