Second Shoot

Today was our second time shooting and our first time shooting as a whole group. We filmed at group member Paru's house. We filmed at Paru's house as her family has a white backdrop used for evenys. This was very helpful as it was difficult for us to find a suitable place for us to film in school (as we needed a projector) however our department let us borrow a portable projector. 

So this shoot we used the canon 500D, Tripod, MacBook and a Sony portable Projector.

We started to film our performance shots but I was nervous too mime and perform the song, so it did take around 20 minutes to get comfortable with the filming. It also took us some time to get used to projector. We will need to shoot performance shots again as we didn't get enough variety of angles and shots today.

First Time Filming

Today was our first time filming, it was very successful as we got all the shots we set out to film. However will need another day of filming narrative scenes as one group member was missing we couldn't get scenes with the bridesmaids. Also due to the sun setting we had less time than we would of liked to shoot the outdoors scenes so they were cut short.

Shooting

This weekend group members Emily and Paru and myself will be filming the majority of the narrative scenes for our video. Zara will not be able to attend. We will be filming at my house for the wedding scenes. 

The equipment we will be using is a canon 500D and a tripod, as we want the footage to have natural lighting and feel homemade.

10 Things That Could Go Wrong in Our Music Video

1 - Weather (if it rains when we are filming our narrative it will ruin it)
2 - Lighting (if the projections don't give enough lighting on Kyla's face)
3 - Equipment (e.g. battery running out on cameras)
4 - Full SD card (no space for our footage)
5 - Performer (not being comfortable in front of the camera and giving an awkward performance)
6 - Costume (not fitting in with our aesthetic or digipaks)
7- Location (not being able to find a location that is suitable and matches our story boards)
8 -  Miming (If our chosen performer cannot mime convincingly it will ruin the video)
9 - Mise-en-scene (if the props and costume are off then the whole video will look wrong)
10 - Not planning our shoots properly will be disastrous.
