Today Pandors, Lily and I shoot the test shoot. At first we wanted to shoot in the media studios, but as it wasn’t available, we shoot it in a classroom which actually turned out to be more similar to out ‘shack’ set design. We also had a problem with one of the members of the group who just disappeared before we started to shoot so we decided that we were going to change hip with another guitarist, because he was really unprofessional.
After that we took a couple of shots such as mid shots, closeups frames filmed from a low angle, birds eye view and so on. After we shoot everything, Alex put all the footage in Imovie cronologically and we started editing. However, when we started cutting the footage, I realised there are not enough shots (we forgot to do closeups of the guitarists and of the drummer) so I had to film my arms pretending to play the drums and alex pretending to play the guitar.
To edit the test shoot Alex and I used the Imovie app from my phone. It took us two hours to do it, but we mannaged to put a decent video together. From this process I feel more prepared for when we will actually have to edit the music video and I have a clearer idea abou how many shots and how they will look on the screen. I also have more ideeas now about how to tell the actors to act and more ideas of creative frames which will keep the viewers interested and engaged. When editing, we experimented with techniques we learned in the media lesson today, such as following the movement (in the quitarist close up alex looks down at her arm and then we added a shot of her arm).Conclusion: We have to make a list of all the shots that we need so that on the shoot day we will be prepared and be sure that we won’t forget to shoot something and then wake up in the editing suit with not enough footage.
