Shoot Two - On Set Photographs

Words by Alex Beale.

Below are some photos that we took on shoot 2, this was filmed at The Crown pub in Awsworth on Monday 28th November. This shoot was for filming the performance shots of our music video.

As you can see from the photos James was the lead singer and Andy was the Guitarist in the band. This meant that I was filming and directing, with help from James and Andy. The photos we took show some of us setting up the set for the shoot which included the bands instruments and setting up the camera and the tripod.

We also have photos which show some of the performance being filmed, these photos have both the camera and the band in the shot. We also took some other shots which don't have the camera in which we are planning to use on the CD and on the website as they show live performance which is an essential element of an indie band. We will upload the photos in other post.

We think that the shoot went well as we got around forty minutes of footage which will need to make up just less than half of the music video, however we will only really know how well we did when we upload the footage to iMovie and start to edit it as we will then know whether the lip sinking and the performance has worked as if the timing is out or the instruments don't look as if they are being played then the video would look unconvincing and unprofessional.

We will be be doing most of the editing after the deadline for the Website and CD cover, this is because although we have enough people in the group to be doing all three we only have the use of two Macs to work on, this means that the CD and Website take priority at the moment as we don't have as much time to finish these.
