Kill It Kid - Pre Production

For our module re-take we decided to produce a gig video on a band called Kill It Kid.

We deliberated on many ideas for a while. The one we seemed most likely to run with was a music video. We were going to use Harry's contacts and look to create a drum and bass video based around the idea of a chase. For this I looked into different music videos which already existed for this genre and researched common features within them.

We scrapped the music video idea because with our other work from our second year we wouldn't have much time to cast, get locations, permissions and possibily film over a number of days.

We then were presented the opportunity of filming Kill It Kid at the Komedia in Bath.

In order to prepare for this I checked out Kill It Kid's music on MySpace so we could familiarise ourselves with their music. This was important as having a prior knowledge of the songs allowed us to plan our shots a lot better. For example if we knew a guitar solo was coming up at a certain point we could focus in on the key element of that section of the song.
