Filming the Band Performance

Last night, we shot the band performance in the drama studio. We were really pleased with the footage because the band looked really professional on camera. We used flashing lights to match the pace of the video and make it look more effective. We filmed a wide range of shots using the shoulder mount, dolly and the crane; shooting low angles, high angles, canted angels, close ups, long shots and side shots. Therefore, we feel we have more than enough to make our music video look as professional as possible.

1:15- Lucy and Helen went to set up at the drama studio an hour earlier than the rest of us arrived. This meant that as soon as the band arrived we were able to start filming straight away.
2:00- Everything was set up with the camera equipment and instruments.
2:15- Mr Convery came to show us how to work all of the lighting, speaker and the crane. Olivia was in charge of the lighting and music.
2:30- The band arrived and we gave them brief of what was going to happen.
2:45- We started to film, using our shot checklist to ensure we got all of the shots done that we wanted.
5:00- We finished our performance shoot, getting everything done that we had planned to which we were very happy with.
5:30- We were eventually finished- we had put all of the instruments and equipment away and turned all of the lighting off in the drama studio.
