In order for us to use our chosen location for filming the band play we had to book session for using a drama studio in our school. We wanted this location because of the black curtain that you could pull around the room and the lighting that is installed for drama performances. We had to book a week in advance which gave us time to finalise all the props we usedand where we would position the drum kit.
We used a dolly cam tripod to film the sequence of the band members playing. This was a key tool to creating the mood that we wanted to be established. It enabled us to film a smooth moving shot that added pace to our film alongside professional qualities. Although having access to this equipment was a huge benefit for us it still had its floors. Firstly it is fairly old and as you would expect there was some wear and tear from where it ha
s been used through out the years. the top of the tripod was broken and a replacement holder for the camera had been put in. As we found the dolly cam like with we could not buy a new one because it was old, this caused the camera to become loose at times and slip of.This was corrected by placing additional materials in the part that holds it together to create a firm grip on the camera. Furthermore the tilt motion on the dolly tripod had become loose, even tho it was as tight as possible it still slipped down which meant we had to hold it up at all times to stop it slipping.
Some last minutes changes were made to the actors in the band because of peo
ple letting us down at short notice. We did not want to use the character ‘Guy’ in our band because we thought it would seem a bit strange that he is being chased by a nun and then he was a nun in the band. After a much team consideration we chose as a group that our best option was to use Steve, who plays Guy as our drummer. We concluded that it would create more enigmas if he is playing in the and also get the audience thinking to them selves about what is happening more. As i was the guitarist in the band we needed another media technician to be in control of the camera. we also needed some one to control the lighting for us to make it flashy and as if we were playing to a live audience. this worked well but some times thelight contrasted with the dark to much and created very strong flash which the cameras could not handle.
This filming session ran more smoothly compared to our first day of filming. This was due to the fact it was inside and we did not have to put up with freezing conditions,we could also easily read our story board with out it blowing away or our hands becoming to cold to actually hold paper. We was also more focused to what we was going to be filming and not as many adjustments had to be made because their wasn't any natural events taking place such as tides rising quicker than we were filming. The fact that all the filming took place in one location and it was only the camera that changed position made it much easier and quicker because we did not have to keep changing the position of the tripod. It was quicker to film as continuity did not matter so much, as we were a band playing and going crazy it would be better to not match to add to the fast paced confusion mood of the music video.
