Recently we went out and practised a lot of the shots we are planning to use for our music video and in the video above we have put clips of our filming together and analysed each shot. Within the video we have recorded our feelings about shot quality, the framing, the lighting, the acting and the general success of each scene; this will be very helpful when we come to film and create our final video as we can learn from the mistakes we have made in our preliminary filming.
Carrying out this prelim filming has been really useful and encouraging. It has shown me that we will need to be careful when choosing which camera to film with; as we chose not to use a school film camera for this filming and the quality is not very good. Therefore this has helped us save time, because if we had not tested the camera during this filming we would have wasted a lot of time by filming our final video and I would not have been happy with the quality of the shots. Our prelim filming has also been a chance to test out shot ideas and see what works well and also hightlighted some shots that we may need to adapt or reconsider. It has also helped me estimate how long each shot will take to film and which camera angles and locations are more successful. This filming has also been a chance for the actors to come to terms with each scene and experiment with the different ways that they could act in each shot; this will speed up the real filming process as they will already know what to do and I will have already explained each different scene during the prelim filming.
