Filming Day to show off our Lip Synching Skills

Today, as planned, Rebecca and I filmed some additional footage for our music video.

We felt that the video was lacking in the way that it did not include anyone singing along to the words.

We felt that this was lacking, especially after seeing many Alternative music videos had included this key feature.


An example [BELOW OR CLICK ON THE TITLE] is Vampire Weekend's "Cousins" - in which, the entire song is performed directly to us, the viewer.

So, for the filming, we:-

• We knew that we wanted to shoot the Rabbit and the Fox singing along to the song.
• We knew that we wanted the composition to be different for the Rabbit and the Fox. Thus, we shot the Rabbit on the left of the frame, and the Fox on the right.
• We knew that we wanted the female Rabbit to be superior to the male Fox as this fit with the idea of the fox chasing the rabbit. ======>Thus, we have shot the Rabbit on a metaphorical pedestal (on the kitchen counter) and the inferior Fox in the metaphorical pits (on the kitchen floor).
• However, we also wanted to reflect the vulnerability of both characters. ======> Thus, we have filmed both characters in medium-angle to give this effect.
• I (The Rabbit) put on the same costume as I wore at the party - for continuity.
• Rebecca (The Fox) wore black androgynous clothing and a fox mask.
• We shot it in darkness with just a lamp - to give the effect that it was shot at the party.
• We shot it in a kitchen, which could have easily been the kitchen we used for the party.
