Performance Reflection – Shoot 1
When looking back at our music video performance shoot, there are both elements that I believe went well, and also things that I would do differently next time. We went to a white studio to film the first half of our performance. This enabled us to film in a controlled area and manipulate the lighting to our advantage. We got a range of angles and movements to play around with when editing in post-production. The second half of our performance was filmed at a park. We used a few different loacatons, giving us oppurtunity to use high-key/low-key lighting, and setting relevant to our song e.g. the barbed wire fence in the background.
These are some pictures from our studio shoot:
What went well:
- A large variety of angles/shots/movements
- 2 locations = more footage to edit with
- Use of transitions
- Accurate lip syncing
- Breaking the fourth wall
- Great acting
- Good mise-en-scene
Focus forward:
- Be more prepared
- Organise equipment and ensure we have everything we need
- Don’t waste time in one location – move around more
Overall, I think that this shoot went well and taught us things for our next one. I believe that we represented our star image well with the use of mise-en-scene and secured several ‘money shots’ by filming from different angles and trying new things.
