For our last shoot day, we arranged to film in school as
they have a studio which was available for us to use during filming. In order
to prepare for this, we picked a date and time where all members of my group
and Dani had a free period in order to make sure that we did not disrupt our
school day. We set up the studio in advance with a black curtain and a fan for
effect. This enabled us to film quickly and efficiently.
Our singer Dani, rehearsed in advance to make sure that she
knew the lyrics to the song and so that she could lip sync professionally. This
allowed our shoot day to run efficiently as we did not have to waste time for
Dani to try and learn the lyrics
Our Animatic was very helpful and allowed us to prepare for
our shoot day as I allowed us to visualise our final product. It also saved us
time as we knew what shots and camera angles we needed to film and where to
place them within our final footage.
Although we prepared very well in advance, there was a few
issues that arrived on the day. For example, we had planned in advance to use a
green screen, however Dani was wearing a Khaki Jumper. From this, we therefore
had to improvise and use a black screen which we will edit within the music
video
Overall, filming went really well as we managed to film all
of the shots we need, we managed to film with a range of different shots such
as high angle, low angle and wide angle which makes it easier for us to edit as
we will not run out of footage and so therefore we will not have to re film or
re use shots throughout our final music video
The majority of the shots that we filmed were planned in
advance when we created our shot by shot list and animatic story board. On this
day we followed our story board exactly, which was another advantage of our
advanced planning. Because, of this we did not feel that we had to improvise
any shots as we had enough footage for our final product
On the day of filming, we managed our actress very well as
we followed our story board, allowing us to tell them exactly what they needed
to do. Dani (our actress) was very cooperative, allowing our shoot day to run
efficiently
As we filmed in school, there was no problems with the
location, as we had all the equipment already available to us such as the
lighting, cameras and the microphone. The school is a safe environment, meaning
that there was minimum risk to ourselves and the equipment.
Some of the shots of which we took worked better than
expected, for example, when filming Dani front on with a close up, it looked
very professional as we were able to capture her star image due to the fact that
she was staring directly at the camera and was the only person in the shot.
This worked really well as we could clearly see her lip syncing
As a group, we managed our time very well and we filmed the
footage in a short amount of time. This was due to our advanced planning and
good cooperation from our actress
As a group, we all worked really well together and took on equal
roles to make sure our shoot day went as smoothly and as well as possible, we
all took turns filming and controlling the lighting and all added equal amounts
of input. This teamwork allowed us to get a good range of shots such as the variety
of angles which we could choose from and use when we begin to edit.
