My shoot the reflection


I felt that on our shoot day we worked extremely well as a team and I am very happy and proud of what we came out with he worked extremely hard all day to come out with the best video we possibly could and I feel like we have achieved this, we made sure that all our shortlists and shooting schedule were printed out ready for us so we were ready to start as soon as possible, For our first set up we had all the band in the same room with no set and we used the black curtains as a backdrop this took very little time to set up so we could quickly get started on the lighting it took us quite a while to get used to lighting and find the states that we felt fit our video well we played around a lot with the colouring and took our time in deciding what would fit best throughout our video we used a lot of heavy strobe lighting and we had to work very hard in making sure that the strobe wasn't coinciding with the shutter speed on the camera otherwise we would see nothing and this is something that I took away from the shoot at learned as I did not know this before. it took us quite a while to get the lighting right but once we had it we are very happy with what we had and we were glad that we spent the time that we did on it.

We then set up the corridor with the door at the end leading into the open space we had to do quite a lot of adjusting on the day as because we spent a lot of time the lighting, we ran out of time to do all of our setups however in the end we felt that this worked better and made more sense in the narrative of the video in this section we use some of the fluorescent tubes as lighting. Do a lot of playing around with the positioning of the cast members to make it look put together, lots of playing around on how we can use the door and we did some really cool shots with the door oh we were very happy with the outcome.

The next part of the shoot was when we went on location, we all drove into Guildford we had pre planned all our locations and so we parked and started straight away we used a single frame camera to take the shots of them in Guildford your single frame camera work to create the effect Of them jumping around and it gave the pre-existing footage a bit of texture I made it look really cool every time we do a sexually stop and look at what we had and if we like what we had we would then carry on the single frame camera work really fit their style let's be careful in Guildford as we were out when it was dark so we had to watch out for cars and other members of the public but we felt that we handled this really well and we got lots of amazing footage, I think because we were outside the band also really able to relax and they were really acting like they were a band this made it a very smooth experience.


In conclusion I think that as agreed we worked very well together we managed to overcome any issues and problems that came along the way and we were able to adapt to anything that didn't quite workout we felt that we were well prepared and well equipped for our shoot day and we also had an amazing time shooting the video and we are very proud of what we have achieved we did have to shoot a little bit a few days later of just the guitarist and lead vocalist as we did run out of time so something that I would improve would be hard management I'm making sure that we are sticking to a strict schedule.
