I arrived at 5.20pm to start setting up for the first dose of filming, getting everything in order to make the shots needed this evening, having to get it all filmed on this day, as of the difficulty with booking a church around Autumn/ Winter time.
Setting up was easy, I was assisted by Jordan who was playing the drummer this evening to set up the main stage, we appropriated our smoke machines and spot light first setting them up and lining them up for shooting, allowing the smoke machines time to warm up before use. After this we set up by bringing the amps down from the balcony store we have in the church, as well as the drum kit, getting that ready to be played. Finally I set up the track and jib horizontally across to be able to get interesting pan shots.
We then went on to shoot the footage, spending all the time, after Doug and Lewis came, to film intensively, using the track and storyboard to get my required shots, we decided it would be best to film chronologically as it will help me when it comes to my edit, although this meant we had to arrange spot lights and the track and job constantly for every instrument and singing shots.
The only real problem shots I had were the shots of myself singing, this was because directing the video, and getting the shot right was slightly difficult to negotiate, so i directed the movement of the track, while Jordan listened, and helped move the jib to my instruction, this eventually came out well by the end.
