Filming: Shoot One

Our first video shoot was the "bedroom trashing scene" and took place in Beth's house. For this we booked the HDV camera, tripod and lighting kit to achieve a highly professional quality. By the end of the shoot when the lights were shut down, it was evident just how much the kit improved the light quality, removing all yellow tints and covering the room in a clean, even soft white light.
Before recording we cleared the room of obstacles and established a filming line so as not to cause continuity errors, to maximise the rooms scenery and avoid any dull areas. Once the kit was set up, we then briefed the actor on actions and lyrics. This was easy as we had a copy of our story board with us, and all relevant shots required were highlighted. When recording we tried to get a wide range of shot angles and styles to optimise our options when editing.
Overall this was a relatively successful shoot and gave us some useful footage.
