Our fourth shoot was the performance element and by far the largest shoot required. Organisation for this was crucial, requiring all band member actors, a wide range of equipment and, we were restricted to dates and times our location could manage. For this shoot we booked the lighting kit, HDV and tripod like all our previous shoots in maintaining quality, as well as an Epiphone Les Paul guitar, Fender Precision Strat bass, Marshall MB4210 bass amp, Marshall DFX100 guitar amp, Pheonix 400w PA and Peavley 800w PA speaker as well as a Pearl drum kit.
On arrival the janitor told us we had to leave and raised an argument, despite our proof of allowance. After standing our ground for 45 minutes, he eventually agreed we were able to shoot. Because of this unseen inconvenience we were left with little time and knew this was our only opportunity. We then set up the lighting kit, musical equipment and camera in a remarkably quick time, and began meticulously running through the required scenes in order, thanks to the annotated script we had prepared. Although this was a huge rush and extremely stressful, we managed to get the crucial shots we needed with reasonably good quality. Despite this, we were only able to go through the entire song a few times and did not end up with as many shots as we would have liked.
