Filming Session

Last weekend, Grace and I had another filming session - at which we did not come very prepared and quickly encountered many problems. This included the lighting which was one of the most significant issues we encountered as the lights reflected in the windows, which was seen on the camera. As a result of this we began to take our shots against a wall, of our performer singing which we will later match the music to the singing. We took many shots of our performer dancing which we will cut and edit. Due to the issues with the lighting, our further filming's quality was reduced and almost looked grainy and is not the quality we would have hoped for! This made Grace and I feel like we should completely re-think our music video but instead we have come up with some ideas to make filming more suited to our needs e.g. using a studio give our dancer space, use 3 cameras at 3 different angles to capture our performer and use daylight for our lighting. We are hoping for our next filming session to be more prepared and have a dance for our performer to do as we did not think of that the first time. 

After looking at our footage from this filming session, we moved on to the first stage of editing. We quickly incorporated techniques we had hoped, including reversing the clip, slow motion and overlaying. Unfortunately when we returned to the computer to continue editing our footage and editing had been lost! Luckily we had uploaded it to Youtube and here is what we had edited.
