Problems encountered -
- Absent and late crew members
- Late change of staging position
- Only three SD cards (we had planned for more)
- Different song version
- Framing and lighting was difficult because of spatial restrictions
- Inadequate training for certain members on use of cameras
- No direction of choreography which meant cameras had to move with the performers, which proved difficult
Strengths -
- Choice of high and low angles
- Multiple members on cameras
- Organisation beforehand of crew members was assured
As you can see the problems we encountered outweighed the strengths of our filming. Perhaps what allowed us to battle around the problems was our organisation. We were ready to go in the small allotted amount of time that we had and so got enough shots that we were able to produce a half decent video. Unfortunately one of our camera 'crew members', the one we had on the floor, mistakenly pressed the record button twice and so failed to capture any footage, however our filming from above meant we were lucky enough to get away with it. Our camera nearest the band had a little trouble framing due to the late change in staging however again our organisation meant we had time enough to sort this. Further to this, once we got the footage back to the editing suite, we realised that the band had played a slightly different version to the recorded song we have to put the footage to. Fortunately our editors have managed to work around this and we have produced a worthy video.
Of course all of the trials and tribulations we experienced here, as well as the successes, will help to ensure we experience maximum success when it comes to producing our actual project.
