Filming Day 1

Today was our first day of filming as a group, however there were only three of us opposed to four as Kayleigh had prior dedications. We filmed the drum narrative in the green room in a spontaneous fashion as we didn't storyboard any of the narrative and we were going to see how this section of narrative turned out, we used the spontaneous filming technique as a test to see if the results would be good enough to use the technique again for future filming sessions. 

The drum narrative consists of the lead singer walking into the green room, when edited it will look like he has walked straight out of an elevator into the room, and finding the drummer dancing with a mop. We took a single shot, from three different angles which gives us more leeway when it comes to the editing process, where the singer walks into the room and then reacts to the sudden change in his costume as he now fits in with his surrounding area. Another interesting shot we got was an over the shoulder shot, however it wasn't a conventional shot as the figurative shoulder that the camera was looking over was of the broom looking at the drummer, this shot personifies the broom and makes it appear to be a character in its own right that can be used throughout the rest of the video, most likely for some comedic value.

We didn't just film in the two hour period we also had the set up to make the green room look more hectic and also pack it away so that it was in the same state that we found it when we left. This meant we had to manage our time in the most efficient way possible, which I feel we did. Overall I think the first day of filming was a success and we got multiple interesting shots that we will be able to use to great effect in the video. We even managed to get the footage that we captured uploaded to a Mac on the same day, so all in all everything went smoothly.
