Today was our first day of filming for the final music video. We began in the green room which we had booked prior the lesson. We gave ourselves half an hour to set up the set, which included:
- Moving the green screen
- Readjusting the black backdrop
- Laying out the black mats
- Moving the tables and chairs
- Setting up the lighting
- Setting up the camera
- Setting up the song to play in the background
We also made a list before the filming session of targets and shots to tick off during filming to make sure we do not forget anything and to keep us on schedule. We managed to shoot everything in the order that we planned and we made sure we avoided all the problems we had during the test shots. However, we did have a few problems when we tried to get the perfect lighting which took a while. We had problems with shadows of the camera being seen in the shot, or shots that were too dark or too bright. But we got there in the end... After one too many clicks.
We filmed for 2 hours and within that time, we filmed several base tracks and cut away shots. We made sure that we remembered all the technical aspects we learned from filming in AS. For example, we remembered the rule of thirds. We ensured that every shot was shot correctly and we did them more than once so that we have extra shots for when we go into the editing suite.
We felt that the session was successful and we really enjoyed filming, we look forward to going out and filming the rest of our video!
