Our shoot was on the 21st of Novemeber. The day started out slightly more un-organised as we had hoped as we found out our guitarist would not be around from 12-1 10. So we had to ensure that all of the shots of the bands where done before this time.
Plus, the day of building our shoot the group before finished late so we had limited time to get out set together. We new we wanted the overall mise-en-scene to be the backdrop of a sleezy hotel room, so we picked out typical wall paper and ripped parts of it and through teebags at the wall to give it a dirty brown effect, plus we used 'mould spray' on the walls. In the narrative we also set up a bed with dirty sheets on it and a table with vodka and wine bottles plus with an overflowing ash tray, to give the desired effect.
On the day we issued out roles within the group as it made it far easier to control what was going on if everyone had their own things to be doing. I had the role of the director - "A film director is a person who directs the actors and film crew in filmmaking.They control a film's artistic and dramatic aspects, while guiding the technical crew and actors". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_directo. This meant I watched on the screen what was being filmed (by Izzy) and told her whether the shot worked or not or what i wanted. Similary, i also organised the band on stage to how i wanted them and what positions i thought worked best. Firstly, we did a run through with the band so they new what was happening and how the song worked, and then decided what lighting we wanted and how it should be postioned. I really enjoyed being the role of the directer as it allowed me to take control of how i wanted things, as quite a creative person i thought it was best as i could control what shots were taken and whether they worked. Also, this was helpful when shooting our narrative as i could directer our actors how i thought best it was for them to be acting, and i could direct how i wanted the scene to unfold. Being the director i also took control of doing the bands make up and helping molly (our main narrative girl) get in and out of her harness safely.
Will Edgely in our group was in charge of the lighting:
We decided we wanted dark dingy lighting to go with the mise-en-scene and also having spotlights on Patch the lead singer. To help heighten this however, we also used a very high shutter speed on the camera, where usually it is at 50 we had it at 150, which helped to heighten this effect. Will also had to job to make sure that the different lighting settings came on when required throughout the song, as it changed from washes to spotlights depending on whom we wanted the focus to be on.
Izzy was good on the camera as in our group she knows the most about it, this meant that we had a competent person on the camera and nerely all times so we didnt have to keep on going back and re-shooting things. She was effiecent at using the white balance and keeping it all in focus at all times. Although both me and Will took turns on using the dolly for tracking shots as we to wanted a short time ont he camera, Izzy did a good job and ensuring all of our shots were done well.
Lizzy also contributed to it by being incharge of playback:
She had to be aware at all times of what was going on and where in the song we were so as soon as we needed it we could play it straight away and get on with filming. However, one problem was that we had oraganised a photographer for the day but unfortuantly they could not turn up so we had to make do with taking pictures on our phone. However, we also used a camera back stage to document the 'making of' of video.
Overall, the day went well and i think that it was very useful to have everyone doing their own certain jobs as it allowed everything to run smoothly without problems.
