Our First Shoot... Successful???

The shoot took place in an unused, semi-run down empty unit, the perfect location for conveying the meaning of the song. The sheer size of the unit gave the shots depth and the positioning of the band also helped creating the perfect shot.

The logistics behind the shoot were both stressful and tiresome as we had to organize effectivly the transportation of a whole band, and lighting, and the camera gear, from school to the locatation situated in Tonbridge. Due to rigorous planning and somewhat exceptional organisational skills we were able to complete the shoot by around 9:30pm, and packed up by around 10.

Problems encountered included the lack of mains power outlets, as we needed to run many external devices including lighting, amplifiers, and microphones in order to make the shoot seem as authentic as it could potentially be. Another problem, as silly as it sounds was the temperature, as there was no heating the camera lens had a tendancy to condensate, and the acting started to become sloppier as we were feeling the chill.

To conclude, i believe the shoot went extremly successful due to the hours of effort put in and the dedication by the members of our group, especially danny who managed to lip sync in the freezing cold for hours. If i were to go back and organize the shoot again i would take other things into careful consideration, including the lighting, as i believe it was not placed correctly in many instances; one of these being the illumination of the lead singer, as they are more important, than say for instance, the floor.
