We just finished a 2 day shoot in half term. On the first day we filmed the narrative sequence involving the paint and josh as the stripper. This was a lot of fun and harnessing what we had learnt over the workshop we filmed everything from a variety of different angles so there is choice when it comes to editing. Josh was very reliable as our actor and very professional when it came to acting- he did as directed and did not mind taking his shirt off and getting covered in paint which was good as this what a pretty crucial aspect of the video. (he did however pay me back by tiedying my shower candy pink and black after the shoot). At the end of the first day of shooting we filmed the painting our logo on the wall scene so that we could perform in front of it the following day.
The performance shoot was really enjoyable although we were pretty tired from the previous days filming. However, in a tiny room with very bright lights playing the guitar and rocking out soon woke us up! We decided to film the performance master shot first but after 5 takes our camera op Michael and Chris still thought something was lacking. We decided to plug the camera into a monitor and watch back the footage so we could see for ourselves what we were doing wrong and we immediately noticed how small and static our actions looked on camera. After that we began really exaggerating all of our movements, so much so that I (having never played a guitar in my life and possessing the dexterity of someone with mittens for hands) managed to break two strings, cause my fingers to bleed over the guitar and decorate my hip with a massive purple bruise. Injuries aside after watching back our energy and performance really picked up and overall we got some really great footage.
