Filming Test Video

Yesterday we spent all of the afternoon filming our test video. Our video idea does heavily rely on our sets as they make the video, this did make it relatively hard to film the test video with no sets using the resources which we have at school. We booked the studio for the whole afternoon and gave the whole cast lots of warning so this was not a problem.
We were planning on filming the party scene in the common room however, it was being used for a rehearsal. We ended up using the media editing suit as this room had a sofa however the lighting in this room isn't the best. The performance scene in the studio went very well, we moved a drum kit, a guitar, keyboard into the studio. We then moved the black curtain around the whole of the studio which made the video look much better ascetically. We also had a boombox and old tv's scattered around the set which filled the space well. We found a see through box which was a similar idea which we are going for using a recording box, we moved it into the studio however the box was to small as our main chart tea is very tall and the box is also very narrow.
For lighting we had several lights on a medium lighting setting, we also had two lights on the floor.
We filmed the video on our phones using several phones per shoot to get as many shots as possible.
We are know half way through editing the video which will be ready for Thursday.
