Filming 2nd time around

By doing a second shoot we hope to correct any of the problems that were created when trying to edit the video.
Tonight's Filming

• Many of the shots taken tonight will be filmed on a tripod to ensure clear and steady shots.
• The same footage will be captured numerous times from multiple angles to allow for a wide selection of shoots to choose from when editing.
• The footage will be shot at various times during the day aiding the narrative within the video. The narrative will be based around a guy running towards the band and to display time change within the video we intend to shoot as it gets darker (until nighttime).
  

more influences

i found this video by Chase Armitage that has given us ideas for the narrative part of our music video. if you look from 1:17 to 1:26 there is a clip of him running aside the camera, probably panned from in a car. But it looks very clean and fast paced which fits in really well with the theme of our song. Also it brings tension and curiousness to the video, also adding some action into it at the same time.

Filming

We ended up filming the video in Cambridge, as going to Newmarket proved to be difficult. We used a large space on top of a car park to shoot all of the band performance. Even though the flood lighting helped us to accomplish the silhouetted look we wanted it has also seemed to create problems when editing the footage. Parts of the footage is unnecessarily dark and may ruin the overall appearance of the video. In addition, many of are shots are panning shots and although they are not shaky they are in motion and we feel we may have benefitted by using some still shots.

Rough Cut

Filming Days/ To do list

College Camara booked for Tuesday 7th Oct and 9th Oct Thursday.
Fiming Tuesday in Newmarket

Filming Thursday in Cambridge
Both days band is needed.

Picking camara up at 4:10 pm both days, returning 9:00am the next days

Need to make sure we have a tripod and spare batteries, for all camaras. + Make sure band can make it.

Also need to work out routes to New Market. As well as doing a risk asessment of the area.

We also need to think about contacting the Car park and checking we can film there.

Main Narrative Idea/Structure

Part 1: Original Band Performance shots
Man is woken up by band and is confused, why is he in a dim car park with a playing band?

Part2 : Flash Back shots of Man seeing band through out his day like in street and stuff, this is mixed in with more band performance shots + man watching band.

Part 3: Man freaks out starts running from band, through car park, runs past creepy band members watching him. He finally escapes leaves through door, as he goes through he realizes hes back in the car park room with the playing band................end

Blog Feedback

As much as we would like to think that our blog is perfect, we know that it has some things missing and a couple of unfinished pieces but the class giving us feedback were too kind to let us know so all the feedback we have for now is positive...:

• Shot lists were detailed and stepped everything through.
• Lots of video analysis.
  
• Location posts were good.
• Lighting & tone post were different and looked 'wow'.
  
• Proper band looks very good.
• Lots of blog con tent - good detail for lighting and shot list.
• Good variety of pictures used for location and also camera angles, looks good.

colour correction

i played around with the colour correction on final cut and have made a possible look for our music video. this is just a still frame from test footage as it has disappeared somewhere but it gives us a vague idea of what its going to look like.
