Above are some pictures taken from our performance shoot (shoot 1)
Things that went well:
- Shots taken of the band from a variety of angles and distances
- All performers had suitable costumes that fit the conventions of the genre.
- Majority of shots taken were in focus and framed well
- All shots had good lighting on the performers
- More advanced camera techniques such as Dollys and Pans were used
Things to improve:
- Certain shots, particularly those of the bassist, are quite blurry meaning they may need to be reshot
- The dolly focused too much on the band, leading to a worse transition to the next room
- When the teacher and the student are arguing, they were saying random things, which looks awkward in the edit
- Difference in the scenery between the studio and the classroom could be considered jarring if not transitioned well
- Some of the shots of the band show them being quite static and not really moving around and getting into the zone
Targets for narrative shoot (shoot 2):
- Reshoot all shots that include the main protagonist as their actor is unable to continue in their role.
- Shoot new scenes to finish recording the narrative sequence, bearing in mind things such as continuity with costumes.
- Shoot ALL shots in focus with good framing.
- Shoot more minor shots of the main character to help fill time if needs be.
