Plan for Re-shoot

I plan on re-shooting some shots that where I believe that the lighting looks too dark.

 These are mostly the shots that were facing the window bay as the natural daylight was much more stronger than the lighting that I had when shooting. I did not have access to white pop-up lights, but I will ensure that I have some during the re-shoot in order to achieve crisp shots.

I have created a table to show which shots I need to re-shoot with a description of the clip. Creating this table will aid me during the time that I have to re-shoot as I can refer to this to quickly find out the clips that I need to shoot.

Feedback on 1st Draft

• Re-shoot lip-syncing of first couple of lines as you can't tell that they are singing.
• Try different shots without lip-syncing, show expression through different types of shots.
• Make Chloe look/feel more comfortable.
• Include shots with ben/chloe looking up at each other to show more of a relationship between the characters, e.g. shots at 1.50, 1.59.
• Include more close ups
• Mise-en-scene works well.

Review of Shooting Day

I think that the day was quite successful. Though I do not believe that I filmed every shot on the storyboard to a high quality.

One issue that kept arising was the lighting. I found it very difficult to ensure that the lighting was the same in each shot. This was mostly because the natural light coming from the window bay was much more brighter than I anticipated. I had to use many lights in order to achieve a crisp looking shot, this meant that the images looked more orange, which is a problem that I was trying to avoid. I think that if I was able to get white pop-up lights, rather than the lamps that I used this would not have made the shots look as discoloured.

I think that I should have planned the day more thoroughly, though I did believe that I had thought out every shot and how I planned on shooting these shots. I made a grid that I thought would make me more organised and productive during the day, but as I kept forgetting to mark which shots I had already filmed, this resulted in my organisation decreasing. Printing out the lyrics and annotating them was a very helpful element to have on the day. This helped me to quickly refer back to the lyrics so the artist knows what they needed to be singing.
