My main role was directing the group, I was the main one in the group that turned up with my notebook knowing what shots we'd planned to film and how. I was always making sure everyone turned up and remained focused. The hardest part of the job was making sure Farha was prepared to perform and did it at her best ability. There were times when Farha would get distracted by random people walking by making her feel shy which would have a bad impact on her overall performance. The way I dealt with this was by keeping her focused on just me and the group and giving her helpful advice like telling her to pretend we were the only ones there, or telling her to avoid eye contact with everyone. While we filmed each base track I would instruct Farha on what she should do to make the performance seem natural rather than her just standing there moving her lips. I would tell her how to move and how to make different face expressions this was to make the video seem more realistic.
Filming:
I also did part of the filming, so at times this was part of my role as well. I filmed the city parts in our music video and a lot of Umar's parts in the video. Before filming I had to make sure the camera was in focus, this was really important because we didn't want the footage looking blurry or out of focus as we would lose marks. I also had to make sure the camera was stable so that the footage didn't look shaky, this was hard because at the same time I had to make sure I was moving around with the camera a lot so the footage wouldn't come out still and static. I think the hardest thing about filming was filming during the rainy weather because we had to make sure we were keeping the camera under umbrellas and this would be really uncomfortable.
