This video if of all the clips that we rejected from our music video. They also show us practising using the camera.
Shot one is of the female walking past the camera. The idea was to video her feet however we were unable to use it as the camera wasn’t pointing directly at her feet and we only saw her legs walk past.
Shot two is the same shot however we managed to film the female’s feet. We did not use this shot as the shot was too short. We did not get a long enough shot of the female’s feet and so placing it in our music video would have been pointless.
Shot three was meant to be a panning shot of the female walking. However, due the amount of mud that was on the ground, we were unable to turn easily and get a smooth pan. Also, at the end of the shot, it is too light and we are unable to see the female very clearly. The camera bag was also caught in shot which meant we couldn’t turn fully. To get this shot, I knelt down and held the camera into my chest in order to keep it still however the ground being muddy meant this was not possible.
Shot four was a second attempt at shot three. We removed the bags so that I was able to pan fully however the mud still caused a problem when turning. It was also rather hard to keep up with the female walking so we did not use this shot. Again, at the end of the shot, it is too light and we cannot see the female very clearly.
Shot five was a third attempt at shot three. This was the most successful however at the end of the shot the female was not fully in shot and the bag also appeared on camera. This was our last attempt at this shot and we decided to re-film this shot on a different day and in a different place. The reason being that the ground was too muddy and it was difficult to turn without falling over and was difficult to successfully have the female in shot.
Shot six was unsuccessful and unused as when the female was running, she slipped and this was not something that we wanted. This shot is also a panning shot and the pan was successful as we were not kneeling down and so the mud did not cause a problem to us.
Shot seven was unused as the female was not already running when we started filming. We wanted the female to already be running so that we did not show her standing still and then running. We wanted it to look as if she had been running for a while.
Shot eight was unused due to our own faults. We were that the camera bag was in shot and so we could not use this shot due to that reason.
Shot nine was not used as we felt that the female was spinning two fast and it looked unrealistic. We also noticed when playing it back on the laptop that the females face was difficult to see due to the sky around her.
Shot ten was meant to be a shot from the female’s point of view. We wanted the viewers to understand that she was disorientated and we wanted to show the viewers what she was seeing. This shot was unused as it did not look as if she was disorientated as the shot was just of turning. Another reason was because it was very difficult to spin as the ground was very muddy and uneven so I was unable to spin for very long. To get this shot, I held the camera pointing up and held into my stomach so that I had control of the camera.
Shot eleven was a second attempt at shot ten. However we felt that this shot was too similar to the previous shot and so we decided to re-shoot this shot in a different location and at a different time. We decided that we would film in a different location so that we could find somewhere where the ground was even.
Shot twelve was our final attempt at shot ten. We decided that we would both hold the camera together so that we could also look at where we were going. However, this proved unsuccessful as the path was too narrow to both spin and hold the camera and we both tried to go different directions which meant we came to a stand still. To get this shot we both held the camera with our hands and held it at arms length so that we did not accidentally capture out faces in the shot.
