Band Shoot - Tuesday 11th 2011

On Tuesday 11th 2011 me and Kerry began filming starting with our band shoot. We had three band members; a guitarist/vocalist, a drummer and a keyboardist. We felt this went well and look forward to start editing the footage. The next step is start planning and filming the narrative which will be wrapped around the band shots. In the meanwhile there are some pictures below to show our setting, characters and equipment.

Lead singer and drummer - wearing casual clothes; jeans, chinos, shirts and t-shirts, beanie hats etc. Gives the affect of real effective band members

Standard full drum kit. Common within genre - range of cymbals and toms.

Plain black microphone on common stand. No gimmicks; again convention of the genre of music.

This shows our use of cameras. In this particular moment we were concentrating on the shots for the drummer. This way we were able to get a range of shots.

The electro-acoustic guitar is another common theme within the genre. The edginess of the black guitar with the green lead gives an image for the band. The guitar make is a Takemine - a very popular brand of guitar.

This is our setting where we took the band shots. It's a big space with the ability to use various lighting and backgrounds.

 

 After filming our shots we realised that we had some which were good and some which were not so. We then spent some time going through them and writing down the shot number, the type of shot and the lighting effect. The ones which are '*' are ones which we felt worked particulary well. Our list is shown below:
