Horror Themed Music Video
It is that time of year again. When the nights are drawing in and leaves have begun to fall. So what better to get into the swing of things than with shooting a nice Horror themed Music Video for the American rock band "Soil".
Day 1 had us shooting in the legendary Bourne Wood in Surrey. Which is a locations I've had the privilege of filming before. It's one of those places that really makes your job quite easy as a Cinematographer, everywhere you seem to place the camera it looks stunning.
As the video was to be Black & White I deliberately chose to shoot in a very high contrast settings. Looking for pools of light breaking through the trees to really enhance the drama of the scenes. It was also a great way of hiding certain elements of characters adding a mysterious and chilling look. The still below is a great example of this.


Day 2 was a bar scene shot in Sheppards Bush Brewdog. Here I opted to light to give it a very "dive bar" look. I used 3x Aputure with some 1/8 and 1/2 Red Gels.


All in all a great day(s) out. The cast and crew were superb to work with. The final music video should be released later this month. Just in time for Halloween...
