Production log 3

The next shooting will most likely be our final Girl shooting as we do not need that much more footage of her. I want to get some shots of her walking towards something/someone as we need to close the narrative.

To film we will need- 

A DSLR camera 

a Tri pod

Production log 2

We are planning to film and reshoot the band scenes on Thursday, this is because there is still much more room for improvement after watching the footage over and there is shots I need to film which I forget to capture last time. I need to focus of filming more individual shots of characters playing their instruments within the right time in the song, for example I need to film Luke perform a guitar solo.
All members will be able to film and the drama room is free on this date so there is no problem there.

Equipment that we will need to use will be:
A Tripod
A Steady Cam
A DSLR Camera
Spare Batteries
Camera Light

Equipment that we will need as props will be:
Drum Kit
Electric Bass
Electric Guitar
Microphone / Mic Stand
Amplifiers
Jack to Jack Cables.

Once again we will probably book out two cameras so that we can have two people filming at once which speeds up the whole process. Obviously we have to consider not getting in each others way but i'm sure we can work around that.  We will likely book out a tri-pod too incase theres any full band shots or and shots that need to be steady with ease. A steady cam might also be needed if there are any shots that require a steady hand, so if we are including a lot of motion in our camera movement we want to avoid getting too much camera shake. Lastly we will need to book out the LED light that places on top of the camera. The reason we use this light is because when trying to film close ups of the band we noticed that the shadow of the camera and the camera man was being shown in the frame. This was because the lights being used to light the scene were behind us. Using the LED light was helpful as it got rid of that shadow. George k, Tommy d, Max r, Harry l

We are planning to film our first band shoot on the 24th of January. This will consist of the full band playing the full song. Harry asked two of his friends Luke and Lewis to participate in the shoot by playing the the roles of guitarist and bass guitarist. We also asked Tom Ross to be the drummer because he can actually play the drums therefore he is going to learn the song and give the footage an authentic feel to it as he will be playing the right parts of the drum kit while being in time with the song.
Harry also asked the drama teachers if we was allowed to use the drama room to film in and they gave us permission.
As Cinematographer I have planned a few shots that i think are essential. I want to get a wide shot of the whole band playing the full song (camera on tripod) which can be then be cut back to throughout the music video.
I also want to get a lot of close ups of the actors playing their instrument and especially capture the expression on the lead singer's (played by Harry) face while he is singing.
I am planning to get a tracking shot of the floor panning up towards harry as the intro of the song begins to play out.
