DEVELOPMENT - Principle photography has begun!

Over the last two weeks me and my group have begun our principle photography for our music video. Using our storyboard that we previously created, we started filming in three locations which were in my house, my road and the bus stop. Our principle photography required all of the equipment available which is the jib, tracking (dolly and pipes), tripod, two video cameras and a stills camera.

For this first stage of our principle photography I was responsible for directing our filming. From our storyboard I obtained all of the shots that needed to be filmed and ensured this is what was done. For the scene walking down the road there was various types of shots that we planned to do which included tracking, panning and close ups.

In addition, I made sure all the equipment was set up and each of the team members were ready each time we started shooting each of the individual shots. I was responsible for undertaking the close up shots of our model, and also carrying out parts of the panning of our model walking down the road. Before this stage of our principle photography, Kate and I undertook planning to calculate how long we thought the filming would take to ensure we allocated enough time to complete it. Due to this planning my group were able to finish the shooting for this scene which ensured we completed our task for that day.
