For this task we went out and recorded a test shoot and lip sync of just to familiarise ourselves with our equipment, song and ideas. We also revised and portrayed in an extremely basic manner the star image we intend on portraying to out target audience. We tested a variety of shots, long shots, close-ups, moving shots & wide shots to see which best represent our star image. As well as this it is good for us to practice our use of cinematography. This was probably the most important thing from this shoot as it was hard to display our star image due to a poor location and very limited MES availability due to being at school.
Being able to practice and utilise different shots has allowed us to see what will be best for when recording our actual performance shoot and for the music video shoot they may be really effected in portraying the narrative, so we can also use these shots and practice them then for our narrative shoot.
After looking back at the shoot we as a group decided that in this shoot the long shot worked well, in particular when we walked towards the camera and it slowly became more of a close up shot. Next time we need to improve the high angle shot by making the camera is better secured as well as positioned in the most ideal spot, however that should be easier when we have better mise-en-scene to display and a much better location that should help portray the message intended for our narrative or star image.
