Evaluation of Shoot 1.

Our first shoot was to film the majority of our music video, the table tennis shots. These are the problems we encountered and how we overcame these problems:
• Our first problem was putting up the table tennis table as it was brand new. This took just over an hour, so we then had to loosely put it together so it stood up then start filming as this time was eating into our filming time.
• Within the school gym there were a lot of mats put together which we had to adjust for the mise-en-scene as the gym would look very messy.
• The light was shining very brightly in the gym so we had to choose the areas we filmed in very carefully otherwise the shots would be too bright. Also as the day went on the sun changed position so the brightness of shots varied, something we would have to adjust in editing so they all matched each other.
• We needed to carry out a 360 degree pan which needed all members to be still and we also needed to attach the ball to the racket. To do this we had to put white tac on the ball to attach it to the racket. We decided to use white tac as it was the same colour as the ball and hopefully wouldn't be noticable.
• The filming turned out very different to what we first anticipated. We included many new shots which weren't originally storyboarded such as the shot of the fan sliding on his knees and the smashing up of the table tennis table. We did this becuase we needed a wider variety of shots not just shots of the members playing table tennis.
