the shoot- take 1

On Wednesday 8th October we arranged to shoot our video project. We aimed to leave college at 2.40pm however with having to wait for the cameras to arrive we did not leave until nearer to 3.00pm. with having a quite concise shot list and times of shooting each shot it meant that we were slightly behind schedule. However on arriving town, we met on Christ's piece and got straight to it. We began by filming the shots of Ella on her own, including the spinning around shot, some shots of her on the ground covererd in sweet snakes and then some shots of her walking down an alley way. we were very pleased with the way each of these shots looked. We then began shooting some shots of the rest of us, wearing our hoodies again walking down the alley way. For the majority of our shots we made sure that we used the tripod in order to achieve more effective, steady shots.
After filming down the alley way we made our way to the indoor shopping centre where we filmed a hand held shot of Ella from above. we were really pleased with the way this shot turned out.
Although we tried our best to stick to our original shot list, when we began filming we had lots more original ideas which we then incorporated this consequently made us slightly behind schedule.
We then left town and made our way to Ella's house. we managed to film all of the shots that we were hoping to and they all turned out well. we shot ella in the bed having a nightmare, her making the way down the stairs and her in the bathroom. it was here that we also mainly focused on the 'hooded figures' shooting many shots of them and dojng some lip syncing to certain lyrics, in time with the song.
Overall, we were very pleased with the way inwhich the shoot went, however, when getting back to college to begin editing, we realise that in fact we have not got enough footage and we may need to shoot some more.
