Filming Day Review
I constructed my first day of filming on the 27th July 2017, during this date I completed the dancing section to my music video at a recently made basketball court in Adderbury. I chose to film on this day because I needed to work around my dancer and the days he was free. I chose the week, which I was free throughout, and asked Dan what days and times worked best for him as he works at multiple places and also for himself. I could only film (along with my best friend Millie helping with the filming) on the Thursday because, like mentioned above, it was a day that suited both Dan and Millie. I had estimated that the filming would take at least 3 hours to capture (time would have differed if I didn't have a second camera also filming) and forward planned by making sure the weather was dry and sunny.
Forward planning for this filming day demonstrated to me that working around other peoples timings and aiming for a specific day was a necessary thing to do. This showed that I was professional by pre-planning the day and what I wanted to film. On this day I filmed with two cameras to not only save time (as we wouldn't need to re film the same part of the dance from another angle) but to capture shots that might have been missed if I had to re shoot again.
My friend Millie helped me with the filming, she has followed through with Media at college and with being in most of her coursework and having a friendship for years, I knew that her style of filming would create a differentiation throughout my work and that was something that I wanted to portray in the dancing film. Having a difference in lighting and focus gives the shots more character.
The day ran smoothly, I filmed plenty of footage that enabled me to experiment with the layout on 'Premiere' to marry two clips together or to see which clips worked together. I created three different clips that were either the final or secondary edits for that part of my coursework. I then adapted my three ideas that bounced off from the initial footage of the dancer and followed through with two of them with the footage I made to create a more context bound final film as I had practiced my editing skills within the 2 of the three ideas I pitched about a week previously.
