After completing a 5 hour session of filming at Pirate Studios, we are reflecting on how it went. We were able to complete all the shots planned out on our storyboard and these matched almost exactly with what we shot. The storyboard was really helpful as it helped us to film everything quickly as we weren't thinking of what shot to do next as it was already planned. On top of this, we were able to complete extra shots that we felt would look good in the video. Prior to going to film, we made sure the guitarist knew the song well and how to play it so this wouldn't waste time when filming, and he did which was really helpful. Our drummer also did this, and picked the beat up instantly and he stood out really well in our band. The lead singer also knew all the words so this didn't hinder the band and we were able to play the full song from multiple angles and then put the best bits together form the variety of camera angles we used. One problem we faced was the timing, we left 30 minutes to film the narrative studio scenes when in reality we needed around an hour. However, we managed to complete all the different possible endings for our video and they turned out well so this wasn't a problem.We are having to go back and film on the 17th of November again however, to film close ups on the lead singer again as we noticed the guitar was in the background of these shots. Which then took the attention away from our lead singer which isn't wanted. We feel these are really needed to give the video variety in camera angles, and we feel they would look really good towards the end of the song. To conclude, our filming session was a great success, we got some really good shots where the band were really passionate which we feel is vital for our music video to succeed as it is in the punk genre.
