Filming Evaluation

 These are of Mark and I filming the performance shots.

When everyone got to my house Mark and I decided that we should do all the band members together shots. Then we did individual shots of each band member. As you can see in one of the above pictures the window is open so that I am able to get my head behind the camera to see what I am filming, to make sure everyone was in the shot.

When we were filming the performance shots we had the music 'Accidentally in Love' on in the background so the band members could make their performances look realistic. I used my phone for this, which was loud enough for the small room we were in and the sound quality was good enough for our purposes.

It was dark outside when we were filming so we had to use an artificial light. Then we decided to have extra lighting in the room to make the band members stand out more. We found two desk lights We put one behind Paul, (drummer), and one behind Jack and Mark (guitarist and vocalist). When we used different camera angles we had to move the lighting around to keep everybody lit consistently.

On the whole, we were very pleased with how successfully the filming went this evening. We got through all of the performance shots quite quickly, thanks to the idea of using two cameras at once, to get two shots in one go, which sped up the process. We had one camera on a tripod, and one camera without, so we had a mix of shots types, and we made sure there were plenty of angles, and focusing on different aspects of the performance. Also we thankfully didn't make any continuity mistakes like the last time.

One problem we did have was Jacks guitar strap came undone when we were filming which meant we filmed the shot several times.
