In the afternoon on the 16th of November we filmed our performance aspect of our music video. This involved myself as the drummer, Matt Passmore as the bassist, Harri Mulley as the guitarist, Henry Newsome as the lead singer and James Bedwell as the camerman. This is the same cast and team as our Dunorlan trips to continue the band image.
In filming we had only a few specific shots in mind, perferring instead to get a plethora of shots which we can choose from depending on which make the most sense in editing. We made sure, however, that we got certain kinds of shots, such as close-ups of the lead singer, shots looking down the neck of the guitar, etc. We did this by playing through the song many times with our cameraman walking around getting shots as he saw fit, reviewing the footage after each playthrough.
The only difficulties we incurred were that the drum kit we wanted to use was in use and unavailible, and so we had to compromise, and we only had one camera. The single camera didn't allow us to get the kind of shots we wanted in one performance, and so we had to perform multiple times getting different kinds of shots each time.
