For our first shoot, we used the white studio to focus on getting clear shots of lip-syncing to the words of the song and also to help certain types of mise-en-scene to stand out such as a blue top and pink eye shadow.  We got used to using different angles to keep the audience interested in the video which we found that we could also translate into filming out of the studio.

After thinking it through we decided that studio shots weren’t enough to keep our audience satisfied, so we decided that taking some shots outside such as on the common or in an urban area for contrast, such as in town, would be a good idea. This is also because by taking the shots outside of the studio we realized we could use more dramatic long shot and mid shots as well as incorporate more interactive features in the video.

We found that the camera and tripod we good to use instead of a phone ad it kept the video footage clear and not shaky, we could also focus far better with the camera on the model than with a phone which was important as we were in a studio meaning focus had to be perfect for a good quality video. 

Another positive to working in the studio was the weather, this meant that no matter the weather, our footage would be fine.
