Film Shoot - Narrative

Last week myself Max Harry and George started filming more of the narrative side of our music video. We filmed our friend Niamh walking around Danson Park looking very lost and sad ( this is because she is thinking about the main vocalist and their relationship). We got some really good shots of that convey how sad she really is.The performance itself from Niamh was done really well however we are going to have to reshoot because we need more footage and currently the story behind the video isn't as clear as it could be.

The First Shoot

The First Shoot -

The first shoot was very successful, we played around with the lighting in order to find what would work best and I came to the conclusion of having low key lighting yet on the camera the footage came out just slightly too dark so before filming anymore we turned the lights up a little bit just to make the footage clear.

I filmed the whole band playing the full song (on a tripod) through the use of a wide shot because this can be the basic footage max can refer back to when editing.
My favourite shot I filmed was a high angle shot of Tom hitting the drums on the bass drop because it looked so powerful, however I think I may need to re film this shot in our next take because the camera wasn't in full focus when I watched the footage back.
Im also glad the intro tracking shot and the close ups of the band members rocking out went well.

One problem we faced was the drama room had drama related props and boards everywhere so in order to over come this we moved stuff out of the way and made sure nothing was in the camera shot.
