Final Shoot Day

On Saturday we had our final shoot day and I think we have finally got all the shots we needed it was a really successful, fun day and we got it all done well under the time we thought we would. The day began at 10.00 when we arrived at the photographic house in stoke newington. The house was huge and inside it was amazing and perfect for the final shooting day.

We began downstairs on the basement level which was the more modern room. We took around 400 photos(!) of the band in different positions, sitting, standing, in front of different walls and we got a good selection of shots. We also took individual shots and we all helped eachother out to get the photos we wanted. I was happy with what we got and we also have a lot of selection for the tasks that we need them for. The only negative was that we couldnt make costume changes because it was impossible to have lots of sets of clothing for 5 members of the band.

We then took a break and the band changed into their suits it begin the filming process upstairs. We chose a different level which worked well for the rich look that we wanted. The lighting took a while to set up at first and as a group we went through what looked best. We then began shooting, I was able to shoot footage aswel as helping with the positioning of lights, the positioning of the band and what movement needed to be done. We worked really hard and got all the shots that we wanted.

Overall I really enjoyed the day, we got good footage and photos and the band and group worked well together. I found it harder working in a different location compared to the studio as we had to work out the lighting at each different place in the house. I am so happy with out whole production stage, it was hard work but im hoping after all the editing process we can produce a really good video, website and album cover.
