Group: Evaluation of First Shoot

During the half term holiday, we identified an opportunity to start filming our music video. Our group with an actor went to London to film parts of the video, such our chase scene as well as some of the artistic shots. We approximately 3 hours filming in the capital.  However we ran into a few difficulties that in hindsight could have been avoided. We used our own SD card as well as our own camera, although this was not sensible as we found that the SD card was not working properly in the camera we had. We should have taken out some equipment from school as a back-up, so for our next shoot we will make sure that our equipment will not be an issue.

In contrast, we managed to film some of the footage on a different digital camera, where the SD card functioned properly. The list of shots completed included close ups, mid shots and establishing shots which had the potential of being used in the final piece. However, the quality of the camera made the shots look at a lower quality, while the weather was also an issue, as patches of rain persisted which limited our filming time. For our next shoot, again we will make sure that we have the correct equipment needed for effective and professional looking film. Also, we will check the weather forecast before filming next time, and hope that the weather remains positive for our next film shoot.
