Day of Filming for Final Video

Day of Filming Thursday 6th January.

As said earlier within the blog this is the day in which we agreed to shoot on.

Here are some of the shots which we have from the day of filming. Over all we found it extremely productive as we got all of the footage which we intended to get within the time down there.

For the weather which occurred on the day we were rather lucky because we had mostly cloud with intervals of clear sky, but we did take advantage of the clear sky as you will be able to see within our final music video.

Reviewing the equipment which we used we found it all extremely effective and easy to use.

We found the camera good, this was the first proper time in which we used it as a group since I brought it, we found a number of the features on it extremely useful. Such as the face tracking, this aloud use to focus on the artist and keep his face within the shot. Also the 16x optical zoom came in handy because we were able to do good variation of shots from long distances away with it still being good quality.

The Hama tripod was also good which we used. We found it extremely easy to do panning shots when filming, and the pans were smooth. We also found that it was level as well, because in the past some of the tri-pods have been on a slant which makes it difficult when filming. Finally the dolly wheels which we used were good especially for tracking shots, however because of the surface a lot of the time it was really ruff surface so we had to improvise.

So overall the whole day of filming was a success because we got what we intended to do, and with the weather being reasonable it was a massive bonus.
