Week 3 was our mainly occupied with shooting our studio shots, which took until Wednesday. We had 4 main setups, and within these we produced doezns of different shots by changing the colours we used, the camera angles and through varying the types of performances given.
1. A setup that used a DJ deck and a stool, which functioned as the main studio performance shot.
3. A setup with alternating blue and red 'police siren' lighting inspired by the Kali Uchis video for 'Tyrant'.
4. A setup with a sofa inspired by the video for 'Stay The Night' by Zedd.
This week went very well for the most part, and we got a nice variety of shots. I also got to try out a variety of roles, such as as an actor and a cameraman. I also got a lot of experience using the studio's lighting desk, which I had never previously used before, other than in the test shoot. I believe that I became very competent at using this piece of equipment over the three days of the shoot.
We ran into only several small problems, mainly to do with shots being framed at slightly wonky or uneven angles and to do with the shadow of the camera operator being prevalent in certain handheld shots, which we re-shot in order to fix. We also had an issue with some of our group shots using external actors, as some of them seemed nervous or uncomfortable on camera. We fixed this by getting in some actors that we knew were more experienced with the media shooting process on our final day of shooting to fix this issue.
Our target audience responded very positively to most of our studio shots, with the distinctive colours and realistic performances being praised.
Brick Lane photo shoot
After our main studio shoot we travelled to Brick Lane again to take some photos for the inside cover of our digipak. This was a quick but efficient shoot, as we were re-visiting locations we had used in our music video shoot. I acted and transported the tripod to and from the shoot.
