In my music video I will be including quite a lot of slow motion shots in it. In order to get the best quality slow motion shot that I can, I thought it would be a good idea to look at some tutorials on Youtube on how to film in slow motion.
This really helped as it showed me the best way to get a good quality picture when wanting to film in slow motion. The tutorial below shows the man using a EOS 7d which is a different camera to mine, however hopefully my DSLR camera will have similar settings to the camera used in the video.
This was just a short video for beginners, nothing to advanced. I watched this video to get the basics of filming in slow motion.
I also watched another video on filming in slow motion that included similar information. However it was a bit more instructive than the video above and also went in to more detail which made it very helpful.
The good thing about this video was also it showed how to add the slow motion to the video whilst editing the video instead of on the DSLR camera. This gives me a different technique of filming in slow motion just in case one way doesn't work very well.

Filming Problems
There have been quite a few problems with filming my music video first draft. The main reason for these problems was not finding good locations, or problems with the whether but actually the actors themselves who I had asked to be the band within my video.
At the start of the year I asked them if they would do it and they said they would. Countless times I had reminded them to learn the song and to make sure they definitely would do it, which they kept agreeing to.
I asked around for locations and managed to get my dad's good friend to allow me to use the warehouse where he worked which was near enough the perfect location that I wanted for my video. As the band performance is the main focus of the music video I thought it would be a good idea to make this the more prioritised part of my video. I made sure I organised and told them everything that was going to happening.
Once I had organised it for the specific day I made sure they all knew, as they didn't say they couldn't do it I believed they all could. However on the day one of them decided they couldn't do it and didn't think to tell me. So I had to rearrange the day of the location and made sure once again they all knew.
This day was my last chance to film so I made sure they knew how important it was, then I came to realise on the day we were meant to film again that they hadn't even learnt the song and therefore I could not film again. Which ended with me not having any footage for my first draft.
This means I now will need to find new actors to use in my video, in order to get these new actors I will send emails to all students asking for volunteers so then hopefully I will be able to trust them, and create a good and professional looking music video.
