Behind the scenes footage of our test shoot
What we learnt from our test shoot:
1) Communicating with Actors
The Saturday morning session of our test shoot, was when we were bringing in our male actors in order to film their shots. However although as a group we had an idea of what each wanted to do with our guys during our individual solo singing shots we realized then that we weren't ready to give them clear direction and that it was something we needed to work on.
Below is a clip of me trying to explain how we wanted one of our actors, Will, to act during his scene with Monica
2) The need of an extra camera operator
We realized that if the four of us are going to be in the music video and doing group shots, none of us will be able to operate the camera and therefore will need an extra pair of hands. We decided to ask one of our friends who too is taking media at A2. This is because they will have already have had a lot of experience with working with cameras.
3) The importance of keeping to time
We weren't able to keep to time for several reasons and in the end weren't able to film all the shots we had planned on our shoot board to get through. We realized the areas we had to work on to be able to resolve this issue so it wouldn't happen during our real shoot and thus hinder the quality of our edit due to a limited variety of shots:
- Get to the studio on time
- Leave more time for setting up lighting/backdrops and getting ready (makeup & costume)
- Set an allocated amount of time for a shot and keep to it, do not overrun into the time allocated for the next shot
- Take more managerial control over our actors
- Allocate the responsibility to one person who everybody else will respect the authority over when it comes to keeping to the time of the shoot board
Below is the final version of our rough edit
