Behind The Scenes- Typewriter (Opening Scene)

For our opening sequence, we made the decision to have the name and title of the band typed in the form of a typewriter. This adds a unique and stylistic look to the overall appearance of the video. This will introduce the band to the audience in a fun and vintage way, displaying a form of typography. By placing the typewriter on top of the light box, this illuminates the typewriter and creates a well-lit atmosphere to capture the shots, making the footage much more visible to the audience. The light also produces a positive ora to the idea of bright light. We decided to use brown parcel paper after experimenting with vast amounts of  papers decorated in patterns, however, on many of the different papers used, we found that it was hard to see the text over the patterns, therefore typing on pattern-less paper was a much visible option. This also remained with the vibe of vintage and perceiving a classic look. The classic feel, incorporates with the classic idea of the footage further on in the video, catching a glimpse of what is to come further in the film; a authentic vintage look and adding to the age displayed in the typewriter itself. We filmed the footage at various shots and angles, testing and experimenting on what was best to grasp the effect and to be able to see the lettering being typed. We found this idea to be very effective, therefore we could incorporate elements of this further in the music video, such as typing lyrical verses matching the lyrics being sung at that present time.
