production log 2

For our second shoot on Thursday we are going to shoot more of the band scenes in our music video. We are aiming to get a few more shots of the individual band members so that its not constantly a full band shot. This is because there are parts of the song where we want the audiences attention to be on specific band members. For example on the guitar solo we want to get a close up of the guitarist playing. If we were to only use a full band shot then the audience is going to get confused and probably get bored. We want to mix it up and use a variety of shots to make it more interesting for the viewer.  we also want to reshoot some shots as they were blurry, this we will fix by using a crane for the over the shoulder drum shots.

Once again we will probably book out two cameras so that we can have two people filming at once which speeds up the whole process. Obviously we have to consider not getting in each others way but i'm sure we can work around that.  We will likely book out a tri-pod too incase theres any full band shots or and shots that need to be steady with ease. A steady cam might also be needed if there are any shots that require a steady hand, so if we are including a lot of motion in our camera movement we want to avoid getting too much camera shake. Lastly we will need to book out the LED light that places on top of the camera. The reason we use this light is because when trying to film close ups of the band we noticed that the shadow of the camera and the camera man was being shown in the frame. This was because the lights being used to light the scene were behind us. Using the LED light was helpful as it got rid of that shadow.
