Day 3: Filming the Band Sequence

We set out to film the band sequence in our drama room at school as there was a lot of free space and a there was also a black curtain which we could use as our backdrop. This was very useful as we didnt want to shot our video of us playing the instruments inside of a school as it would not make any sense to the narrative that we had planned. We also had to borrow the instruments from our music department at school so the first time we went to film the band sequence we only had a short amount of time with them, this caused us a problem as we could only film a couple sequnces, one with the werewolf mask on and the other with it off. So we had to go back on a second day where we was able to film more and have a longer period of time with the instruments.

This first picture is us experimenting with the stage lights that we had on offer. This was an extreme close up on Tom's face with the werewolf mask on. We tried to film it so that it looked like the spot light was on him, although it looked like that when we looked back at it, not much of it was useable so we decided that we was only going to show climpses of this certain shot.

This is us also getting anoter close up on Tom singing the song we used a monopod in this shot so that we could move around Tom and get different angled shots of him lip syncing the song. We also are going to use some shots where the camera is moving as it looks very nice but we will only use it in small parts as it does not look good if it is a long clip of the camera moving around Tom.

We had to use chairs to make the camera eye level with us when filming the band sequence as the legs of the tripod which we was using did not strech out long enpugh. If we had left it below eye level it would not look good as the shots we have now as you would not be able to see our faces that well
