Over the
half term, I came into school to shoot my studio scenes of the actor, in the
Drama studio. It took me roughly around 2 hours to shoot all kind of shots.
Before the actor came in, I had set up the equipment such as the lights,
diffuser light, camera and tripod for behind the scenes and another camera and
tripod to take the footage. I also got the music ready so that when it came to
shooting, all I have to do it press play rather than shuffling around and wasting
time to find the song on the spot and waiting for it to load. Other equipment I
had to set up beforehand was the steadicam, as when it came to shoot with the
steadicam, I only had to adjust the camera, once again to save time. Once my
actor arrived at the location, I went through my ideas and what I want to
achieve, I gave her some ideas and directions on what to do when I’m filming
her. The first take was a mid-shot, however it didn’t come out well, firstly because
of the lighting; there was too much exposure and the frame was out of frame,
however this gave me a heads up to understand what I need to do for the next
take. I roughly took around 10-15 clips of my actor performing however all of
them are different in terms of shots and angles. I think the studio shoot was
very successful, as the outcome of the footage was very impressive. The clips
were clear and the lighting adjustments were exact. I was achieving a black
background and the singer standing out from it. The main equipment which helped
me achieve a clear view of the actor was the diffuser light.
