Below are some images of our shoot days, filming Sades’ solo parts and Kris and I went to film the sunset.

From the photographs above you are able to see the time spent setting and planning our shoots.

Shoot 1- Sades.

What went well?

*During this shoot we worked really well as a team especially when Kris drove his car along a lane, I sat in the passenger seat and filmed Sades running along the corn field. This shows team work as I instructed kris what speed to go driving and asked Sades to start running at a particular time.

*Another thing that went well during this shoot was our planning, this is because we charged the camera the night before, made sure we had a tripod, handy cam and land board (for tracking shots). We then asked Sades if he was free on the Monday for shooting over the weekend so he had time to make sure he was available and Kris found the shorts for Sades to wear.

What did not go so well?

*Unfortunately due to filming in the morning, Sades did not wake up. So we had to phone him many times to get him out of bed meaning we lost approximately half an hour of filming.

*Every location for the filming was far away from each other meaning there was a lot of travelling involved between each shoot. However luckily we had a car to travel to each place as soon as we could.

Shoot 2- Sunset Time lapse.

What went well?

*The stand for the phone worked well, myself and Kris collected items from home to make the phone balance. For example we got a box and stood the phone inside of it.

*Another thing that went well was the commitment between Kris and I, this is because we took a Sunday evening off from personal lives and sat outside around the west coast for about one and a half hours.

What did not go so well?

*Unfortunately Kris and I decided to film on my iPhone 6s, which initially was a good idea and also suggested to us by the Specsavers team, however the footage was too long and consisted of 25GB meaning it was unable to be uploaded to the school computer and onto Premiere Pro. So myself and Kris ended up filming useless footage..  Next time we will film the sunset using the time lapse setting so that it will load up as a smaller file.

*Another thing that did not go so well was it was a extremely windy day meaning that half way through the footage the phone slipped, leading to a jump in the filming.

Shoot 3-  Group Narrative.

What went well?

*All members came dressed in appropriate clothing for the genre of our music video, wearing quirky, original clothing.

*We managed to get a wide range of shots from movement shots to close ups and establishing shots, this has helped us massively because we now have enough footage to create interesting, fast paced shots and transitions.

*We were very organised for this shoot as we had planned what we needed and who would take what to the shoot accordingly.

What did not go so well?

* During this shoot I found that the group members were smoking in too many of our videos and therefore we are unable to use them because of the health and safety hazzard.

* Another thing I felt did not go so well was the time of day that we did the shoot because of the winter evenings leading to darker late afternoons. If we were to shoot again I would recommend not to shoot after school as there is very little daylight left.

Shoot 4- Final Sades.

What went well?

*I believe that we captured a wide range of shots again, you are able to see this from the images above where I am standing at different heights and positions to capture the best possible angle.

*Almost all of the shots were in focus and are at interesting angles.

What did not go so well?

*Our actor (Sades) turned up late to the shoot meaning we had a lot less time to complete this important shoot of narrative. This meaning we were unable to go back to school and take photos of him for our digipak.

*The actor did not arrive in the same shoes as the last time so we were unable to take any full body shots.
