What went well?
We were efficient with our filming. We got started as soon as we arrived at each location, setting up our equipment and planning the shots we had to do and how much time we had to do it.
We shared out the filming between all four of us. And we all got a chance at each role that contributed to our music video - director, set designer, setting up equipment, and filming.
We chose our actor really well. At the beginning I was a bit uncertain if he would suit the role because, to me, he looked too innocent to play such an emotionally unstable character, but when we started filming he switched it on and became the socially awkward character that we needed. He was really good at switching moods and emotions quickly, as we had shots of the character being happy, anxious, angry and sad.
We agreed on most camera angles, and even when we did disagree we all listened to each other and chose the best shot that would suit the music video. But in most cases we filmed all of our ideas of the shot and then chose the right one in editing.
As we only made one cake, the shots involving the character and the cake could only be filmed once which was quite daunting, however we gained all the shots we wanted and even experimented with different angles. For example low-angle and high angle as well as Point Of View and Mid-Shot.
What We Could Have Improved On?
On day of shooting we filmed according to our story board. I think this might disadvantage us with our range of shots as well as disadvantaging the amount of footage we have for post-production editing.
Filming took a lot of time because each shot had to be done precisely so that it would fit in with what we had planned in our pre-production story board. We should have planned our time and the time of each shot more carefully.
We should have also taken more care with our mise en scene because there were a few shots that we filmed where we didn't realise that a tripod or camera case was in the background so we had to refilm.
