Our narrative shoot went very well in my opinion, in which we gathered lots of close ups and action shots to put in our video to make it make sense.

Here are a couple of images of behind the scenes of this shoot. The first one being Faris focusing the camera when shooting the extreme close up of Millie’s eyes which is shown in our video narrative storyboard. This photo proves we did this shoot to gather the most advance shots possible, making sure we took our time to get the exposure and focus of the camera correct so we could complete getting these shots in one shoot.

The second image shows us as a group as a whole, participating in creating the prom-posal poster to be time efficient and so we were all included in providing the mise en scene of the narrative shoot

What went well:

• We got all the shots we had planned to get (and more!)
• We all had a turn at filming different shots
• We used each other as props for keeping the poster up when ripping it

Targets:

Seeing as we aren’t doing another shoot and this is our final one, I am suggesting targets for when we put it into Premiere pro and begin editing it, so these are some targets for improving the shots when editing;

• Colour correct some of the shots to match our already colour corrected video
• Edit quickly paced when ripping the poster to make it more effective and portrays anger
• Use the extreme close ups frequently throughout the video to have a running theme of her angry eyes, maybe colour correct these so the brightness of her eyes pop to match the previous clips in our draft 1.

Here is the production meeting for shoot 2 in the white studio at school, we are using the same props, costume and everything mise-en-scene as we just want to sharpen up our original shots to make them better.

There is a list of equipment and props we need to bring to remind ourselves not to forget anything for the shoot.

Here is the risk assessment for the final shoot which I am shooting in school on Tuesday 15th September in the White Studio.

We assessed everything that could be a risk to us when filming these shots. The aim for us for this shoot is to re-film shots that we want to perfect in the studio using the professional lighting and equipment to make these shots the best as they can be.

Today we prepped for a second shoot in which we would film a few narrative shot. Even though we have a complete first draft with lots of shots, we feel it would be beneficial to gain a few more even if we don’t get round to using all of them.

We are planning on getting a lot of close ups (top left box is an example) because we feel these are extremely effective in videos and this way we will have a wide range of distances within our videos, from extreme close ups to extreme long shots using the drone.

Other shots and angles we are going to add to give a variety of camera shots:

• We are getting a zoom in shot as the model walks away with the ripped up poster for dramatic effect
• We will pan the bottom left shot as she walks across the frame to add some non-static shots
• We will film a few low angles of the model ripping the poster as we need more angles throughout the video and it will look effective

Here is our storyboard containing 9 shots that we are going to shoot in the white studio as part of our narrative.

We made a google document containing the narrative development of the storyline of our video. Including the disruption, resolution and the new equilibrium as the video progresses.

In this document we have highlighted the structure with certain clips. So the ripping of the prom proposal poster shows the audience the disruption and problem of the video; in this case, anger and unwilling to love.

Some other shots that we are going to be filming during this shoot is some close up shots of her clenching her fist, batting the prom poster with her bat to portray anger again, extreme close up of her frowning; hopefully these shots will help portray our ‘hating love’ theme throughout the video.

These narrative, angry and emotional shots are what we are going to be filming in our shoot 2.

Our summer shoot went very well in my opinion as we achieved everything we planned to and came up with even more ideas whilst shooting which made the shots even more effective. We had the perfect weather for our shoot which really helped us continue to come up with ideas and was ideal for filming out drone shots!

Here are 2 screenshots from the footage we took on the drone, the first one is from above the fairy ring of Millie skipping around which looks great; and the second image is of Millie rollerskating over the camera. We used the drone camera to film the rollerskate shot because the focus was better than on the canon camera.

In this next shot it shows the angle of which we filmed our pink landscape shot, we used the sunlight effectively so theres no shadows on her face.

Overall I am very happy with how this shoot went and I think the shots look very effective alongside the shots from the first shoot, in our draft 2.

Although this shoot went so well and we now have enough footage, some targets for our next shoot however is to get a few more narrative shots.
