I shot this segment of my film in the studio, as it enabled me to find the correct lighting. This segment will be one of 3 all filmed at different locations and them seamlessly edited into one piece which is representative of my life.
The shoot took around 4 hours. This was primarily because of the equipment usage. An hour of that time was used to set up the redheads, camera and tracking dolly and then dismantle it all post-shoot.
This was my first official shoot for my project, and I believe I am off to a good start. There were no major problems or any restrictions. I figured I had been paying attention in class enough at this point, as I knew how to operate the equipment. We worked effectively as a team to get the job done.
The shoot also worked like clockwork due to the studio. Without the studio I would have spent a lot of my time filling out risk assessments when taking the equipment elsewhere to film. Not to mention the distance when carrying the equipment I so needed (tracking dolly & redheads.) As we were still on College grounds, there was no need for any risk assessments or equipment release forms. This saved me a lot of time which I then spent wisely.
The only main issue was the timing of what we were filming. I was dressed as a leader of an orchestra, which meant I had to be constantly in time with the music we were playing. This also means that when editing the actions of my hands must match the music. In retrospect we could have done with a production log. I will ensure that I have one on my next shoot.
