JC-Evaluation Of Shoot 2

This shoot was very difficult for us because we had problems with lighting. Due to the rest of our footage being very bright and colourful we needed to try and get some sort of match between both parts of footage. The cameara angles and techniques worked well and were able to experiment a little with some camera techinques. One of our problems was trying to cover up a cabenet in the background as it did not match the mise-en-scene that we were looking for. To do this we used a rag which was used to cover the bassists guitar when it is in his case. Another problem that we encounted was trying to set up a mic stand as the singer forgot to bring one. To overcome this problem we hung the microphone from one of the beams in the shed. This actually worked very well in most shots but in some shots it began to swing around too much. Once we captured the footage on premiere we realised that all the footage was too dark. We wernt able to suitably brighten it up as it made the footage look odd compared with the table tennis shots. The only other option that we had was to re-shoot the performance footage again. This meant that we had to do it soon as the deadline was approaching fast.
