Group Planning: Test Run of Powder

Today we did a test run of the flour. We discovered:

• It is a very difficult substance to work with- the particles made in difficult to focus, we will need to stop and check that the shot isn't blurry in the real thing. Also finding a way of covering the camera and equipment.
• If we shot the powder we would need to think about dedicating an entire day due to clothes getting covered. Also we need to make sure we have a shooting schedule so that no shots get missed as we will be changing clothes often, making sure we are organised and locations have areas to change etc, is also important. 
• We also need to make sure the powder shots are close ups so that we can see them well enough.  

Powder Paint Filming - test (flour)

Photos of flour testing

Today we tested using flour as a basis for our paint dust. The actual paint dust will be made with either cornflour or normal flour we need to look at the consistency of the powder and how well it works with the colour in it.

The colour will be put in using food colouring and we will then enhance colouring during editing.  Doing a test shot gave us the opportunity to see if this would work as well as if we used poster paint. Also we needed to see how much of a mess it would make, considering the locations we plan to use.

Also as we plan to use the song title throughout we looked writing it in the flour we think this would look good when we actually have coloured powder and would also add another shot to our music video.
