Examples of some problems on the first shoot day

On the first shoot day we encountered a few problems that forced us to really up our game and make sure that everything was perfect for the second shoot day. One of the biggest problems though was the fact that a lot of camera shots were out of focus and we only found this out when we arrived back at school to examine the footage. This meant that next time we used the camera on the second day we needed to use manual focus instead of auto focus as it would stop the camera going out of focus so often due to the movement of the bands actions. An example video of some of the out of focus camera shots are shown below and you can clearly identify that it was unusable in our main video as it would look unprofessional and sloppy.

 

This first video above was a very good camera shot because it was a nice pan of the guitar and focused on the suitable parts of the guitar as the song was playing. The two problems with this shot though was that it occasionally went out of focus and the shot also showed the sides of the staqge which we did not want as the curtain covers did not cover the sides. We did not want the sidee of the stage in the shot as it had mirrors and too colourful wallpapers for the likes f our genre. This shot taught us to tightly frame the shots better on the second day of shooting.

 

 

This shot was also quite a good shot but yet again the shot went out of focus and the roof was showing which we did not want. This was because the only background we wanted was of the red curtain covers. This is to help make the whole shot more realistic and appropiate.

 

 

This sot was a good idea for a shot but we did not use the lighting as well as we could have. This prevented us from getting a really clear shot and resulted in a grainy and dark shot.
