Lead Singer Performance Shots - 18th Jan.

We had planned that we would film the lead singer performance shots on the same day as the guitarist shots because the two locations were near to each other and therefore it would be logical to visit both plavce while we have the equipment. In addition to this, these shots would be potentially very tricky and we thought that filming them first would give us more chance to return to the location to re-shoot them.

The filming went very well and we managed to film the performance shots for the first two choruses, however, due to time constraints we were unable to film the shots for the final chorus after the mid-8. However, because we filmed some experimental shots that we had not storyboarded, we have a few extra shots that we can use for parts of the final chorus. An example of this was a simple close up shot of the lead singer doing some 'passionate singing.'

Therefore, we have learnt from this filming session that it is benifical to experiment with shots and try to film everything at least twice, so in future, we will try to give ourselves more time. We will also continue to experiment with unplanned and extra shots. We used different camera angles such as high angles, low angles, and close ups as well as zooms and panning shots so we have a variety of interesting shots to choose from. Considering there was a strong wind, we were unable to film any handicam shots, which didn't affect us much considering we hadn't planned to use any.
