Shooting So Far

So far we have filmed alot of the abstract in and around the cotteridge/Stirchley area. We have also shot several shots in Birmingham City Centre including the Frankfurt German Market, which comes to Birmingham every christmas. We have also recorded footage of the drummer at Rich Bitch Recording studios and are due to have another session tomorrow to get the rest of the performance shots. We will then only have a few more abstract shots to take before editing can begin.

Chosen Locations

The various locations we have chosen are:

* The O2 Academy Birmingham to get some live shots and crowd shots.
* Rich Bitch recording studios to get the performance shots.
* Various locations in the Cotteridge/Stirchley/Bournville area to get abstract shots such as:

* Middleton Hall Road
* Behind Cotteridge Shops
* Various Alleys in Cotteridge
* Fitness First Carpark
* Behind Stirchley Co-Op
*Various Woodland
* Rob's House

Shot List

We planned our video shot by shot. Because our video is planned to be splitscreen with a performance and an abstract on each half respectively, we created two seperate timelines comparable against each other. To do this we used a peice of A1 paper and used post-it notes to write all our shot ideas and structure down and then organize them into the order we wanted. We then organized this into a grouped shotlist of which shots would be need to taken in what location.

Meeting Adam Stokoe (Cameraman/Producer)

We meet Adam Stokoe who offered us advice on how to use the cameras and also on how to get a well rounded production. It helped see the best ways to use the hardware we had, giving use advice on how to hold the cameras best, capture, framing, how to use focus, exposure and white balance properly and the best ways to move the camera. He also helped give his opnion on whether our ideas were achievable and the best ways to achieve them.
