Planning filming again

We are filming in PDH this Friday after school. This time we will make sure the lighting is set up so all band members can be seen, as well as creating the right mood for our film. When filming this time we are using 4 cameras. 3 will be on tripods in different positions around the band in a semi-circle, this is so that we get lots of different angles, with steady footage. On top of this we will be having a hand held camera, which will be used to get the close ups of the band and get creative angles with the instruments.

Changing our over all video

We have decided to cut out all other footage of everything other then the band as, this footage was not good. so now we are having just the band playing like in the video for Battle for the sun also by placebo. In this video it is simply them playing. This is also a convention for the indie genre as they often have videos of just the band playing.

Cuts from our footage and why we are no longer using them

This is a shot of our band you can see that their is a reddish tint to it, as well as being really dark, this is not good because we can not see the lead singer of the band and not much of the other members, and the drummer is over lit causing them to be not seen because it is to bright.

Also the lay out of our band was not good as for most of the video the drummer was not seen because the lead singer was blocking them. When we film this we will make sure all the band members are seen, as well as the lighting being brighter and more colourful.
