Filming Last Day?

Yesterday we managed to film what might be our last day of filming unless there is anything else that we can add to the film. We had decided to film the last scene of our music video which involved a policeman who was played by Joe Bono. He was involved in acting out the rapping part of our song which was given as a speech to the criminals showing them the errors of their ways. For this scene we took a variety of angles to make it more arresting such as some over the shoulder shots, close-ups and the like to make the scene more arresting and fast paced. I think that Joe did a good job of imitating a policeman and also learning the verse to a good standard on such short notice. For the policeman costume we had him wear quite typical things such as aviators and smart casual clothes which take reference from such films as "Heat" and "Miami Vice". During the speech which is being rapped the criminal characters start to feel remorse and they begin to stop their ways. this is shown by them first removing their hoods and then throwing their masks away. The inspiration for the masks came from the idea of identities being hidden and that people are most scared of what they don't know. So I thought that having masks involved would make the ending theme more effective in the long run as when the masks are removed they are automatically less feared due to them having an identity. Also at the end of our video we have made our characters dance as a way of showing them being happy with themselves. This makes the video seem more post-modern as it wouldn't be expected by audiences. We also had to film the very beginning of our film which will be edited accordingly to great effect.
