Today we filmed the performance of the girls. It was decided that me and Michaela was to be in the film as the performers. I didn’t mind being in front of the camera. But I found it hard to film and be in the film at the same time. It took me 25-30 minutes to get the stage prepared as well has getting myself ready. It took me at least 30 minutes to get the music to work which wasted valuable filming time. While I was waiting for the music to work, from the help of Kerry and George I started to work on Michaela's shots on the piano I used the following shots
Mid Shot - From the other end of the piano, camera sitting on the piano
Close up Shot - Of Michaela's fingers playing the piano.
Low angle Shot/Tilt - Of Michaela playing the piano
Bird’s Eye View/Tracking shot/Close up - Along the piano Keys of Michaela playing the piano
Close up Shot - Of Michaela playing the piano, front view, so you can see her face and half her body and her playing the piano.
With these variety of shots I can make a more interesting piece of footage, which makes the film less boring with the same styles of shots used in every piece.
When the Music was up and running we had a friend of Michaela's who helped us with the filming of us both as well has a friend of mine called Jennifer.
After Lunch Alex and Shasta came in and we did some more filming, this time Alex was able to film some shots for us so that it made it easier for us to capture.
Within today’s session we took some photos of us and Michaela so we can print them out and use them for the stalkers scene.
I felt today went well, I felt a bit disappointed that the sound and music system to a while to get up and running and we had to keep going back and forth to play the music again. I feel the overall progress was good and we captured good amounts of footage. Next time we shoot for the performance I will make sure that the Stage is ready and the sound and lighting system is up and running before going ahead with the filming session.
The piano is in place on a slant so we see part of Micaela as well has a good shot of the body of the piano.
