AOSD(4) - MY ROLE ON THE SHOOT DAY

 Firstly when we set out the band and the first set, i got behind the camera and was filming for the most time. 
I was required press the record button when the director said 'roll camera', i replied with 'camera rolling' after pressing the red record button. 

I familiarized myself with the camera and helped change the lens when required to fit which camera angle it best fits.

We had a screen which showed how the video would look on actual screen so i looked at that screen while filming to see how the end result would appear.

I helped direct after being on the camera for long enough.
I directed the mostly he band by instructing the lead singer to do certain things when required. for e.g. the close up of the lead singer i asked him to not move side to side as his face. When it was just the normal mid shot he was asked to swing side to side and sometimes lean into the camera to be zoomed in like the do in rock videos.

I was on playback for most of the shoot after that. i was required to respond when the director would say 'playback', i would respond by saying, 'playback in 3,2,1' then press the play button. this was not as stressful as the rest of the roles as i just had to do as i was told and rewind the songs to the track required.

I also helped around with the moving of props and changing of sets. for e.g. i used the dirty down spray to make the first set look dirty.
i helped put mud on the tiles and also helped get the leaves from the trees to fill up the tub

At the end of everything. the group cleared up for the other group shooting on monday to enable them to set up their sets without much problem involved.

  1. Siene - an excellent account of the shoot day. I am really pleased with your reflection and the detail that you provide. You support this well with documentary evidence and have been thorough in your account. Well done. You have also added clear description of what you achieved on the day and are clearly motivated by what you achieved - so you should be it was an excellent days shoot.
