Filming and Directing of a band (pre coursework taster)


Today our media class filmed shots for a band to make a music video from it.  Our teacher directed the band while we each had a go of taking different shots and angles with the camera.

The picture above shows our plan we had before we went down and filmed.

I had the chance to work on different camera positions.  For example at first myself and Daniel worked on the static camera shot, which is camera 1 shown on the plan above. We then moved onto camera  2 which was the moving shot, we used a wheel chair (Drama Prop) to get the moving shot.

This made me understand that it isn't simple to record a whole band performance because of the many different types of camera movements and angles.

I found this lesson useful as I felt that it prepared me to expect the what is to come when recording our actual music video. It also helped me understand different camera shots that I wasn't clear on before.
