We shot our main footage today at Manor Community College, as the venue at the Junction was unavailable to be used after 5. From the moodboard of shots below you can see what the place is like in general, with a big hall and good area of stage. I think filming went really well, we got 38 minutes of footage in total which is so much more than we need so thats excellent. We filmed from 5 until half 6, with some breaks in between.
The stage was a great area to film, and much bigger than the Junction stage so this worked in our favour. We had enough space for everyone and arranged everyone well on the stage. Overall I was very pleased with the amount of footage we got, and the level of general effort everybody put in. The music technician at Manor had actually set up the microphone, drum kit and stage lighting so that we would have less setting up to do, which helped considerably.
The only downside I can think of is the darkness of the footage, as it was either having a couple of lights on, light the footage shows, or all the lights on which was far too light to use. I thought that lightness can be added and saturation etc in final cut or after effects, so hopefully this will look effective.
From the pictures you can see the process we went through, first filming three angles from near the stage for a kind of mid shot, then close ups of each member of the band and then some long shots to get a range of shots. We shot from 9 different angles including the close ups which count as different angles. At colleridge on Monday we will add this footage to the footage we got on Tuesday of the significant moments and then we will edit everything together for the rough cut deadline on wednesday.
