Meeting 5

On a Wednesday, we all met up at Rebecca's house so that we could finish filming the performance side of our music video. We were keen to try out a variety of different shots and experiment with the lighting however due to 'technical difficulties' (power cut and broken fuse) and limited space it made filming more difficult for us. On the positive side, we were able to use a lamp towards the end to help us film a range of shots from several angles and distances even though the lighting wasn't exactly perfect.

Background change

Our lecturer thought that our original background was really plain and appeared washed out in the footage. Since we didn't have any other types of cloth, our lecturer decided to help us in finding a suitable background. The one that he had given us is alot more better in terms of colours and patterns and is also larger so we will be able to experiment more with the variety of shots.
