Video Filming: Day One

The first day of our filming was quite successful despite some problems of which are detailed in the blue comments below.

Day one - Tuesday 13th October

Time: 09:00-10:00
Group: Chloe & Zoey
Location: College
What's being done: Collecting equipment and taking it to the first filming location to meet other members of the group
This part went alright initially, but when Chloe and Zoey arrived we realised the tripod we were given wasn't complete and so would have to improvise

Time: 09:00-10:00
Group: Jacob & Jake
Location: Osbaldwick Sports Club
What's being done: Setting up the instruments needed for the first shots of the video
This part also went well to begin with, until we realised we needed a controller to set up the microphone and so I had to return home to collect it which wasted more time

Time: 10:00-12:00
Group: Zoey
Cast: Jake, Jacob, Chloe, Sam
Location: Osbaldwick Sports Club
What's being filmed: The band performing for the first two times this happens. Overall this will be filming 25 seconds worth of our final video, but will take longer due to filming extra pieces which can be used if the intended piece didn't go as planned. We will also film each part of the video twice so if one isn't quite right, we have another version we could use without having to go out and film on another day.
This part went well and we managed to get some of the shots we were due to be doing after our lunch break done early. To get around the tripod issue, we thought that using beer mats which were scattered around the pub would be sufficient but were unsteady so we had to think again. Instead, we used a number of chairs and stacked them to an appropriate height, if we needed to tilt the camera up or down, we used beer mats to prop it up.

Time: 12:00-13:00
Group: Chloe, Zoey, Jake, Jacob
Cast: Sam
Location: Osbaldwick
What's being done: Lunch break
This bit also went well by enjoying some monster munch, sausage rolls and pepsi!

Time: 13:00-16:00
Group: Zoey
Cast: Jake, Jacob, Chloe, Sam
Location: Osbaldwick Sports Club
What's being filmed: The band performing for the remaining three clips. Overall this will be filming 49 seconds worth of our final video, but again will take longer due to filming extra pieces.
Again, this section also went well and we finished an hour early. We again hadto improvise around the tripod issue by using the stand under the TV, which was showing the rockband screen, which rotated and so gave us the pan we wanted.
