In order for us to discover new things about our video, and to further develop the idea to a professional level we must have another test shoot, this time using better equipment, our real cast list, and a set designed that is more similar to our final product. It will be difficult to get sets similar to what we picture as we want really grimy, dirty environments, and also a lot of drum set ups. There are only two drum kits available in the school which means we will only be able to re-create two of the 5 drum set ups - this is not ideal as we want to see what all the drummers look like together, with all the drums in odd positions, we will not be able to experiment with the setups now. We could potentially use steel bins as stand in drums as that is the back up plan for if we can't get hold of the drums for the real thing, but obviously it would be better if they were drums. I have sent emails to everyone in our cast, updating the times, location and cast list as our idea developed and availability of the studio was confirmed. One of our drummers definitely can't make it, so we will hopefully have four drummers to play with on wednesday. Our singer, male dancer, primary drummer, and most male extras have also agreed to come - I will be talking to every member of the cast in person before the shoot to confirm that they can all make it.
In this shoot we are looking to improve upon some of the things we didn't like in our previous test shoot, and will focus on making the things we did like even better. Instead of using an iphone we will be using either a Canon 7D mk 2 or hopefully a Canon 5D mk 3, so the quality of the footage will be much better than our first test shoot. We will also have the opportunity to shoot with lenses that have adjustable focal ranges, which for members of my group that are less experienced with cameras is good as this will give them the chance to use a camera on a tripod and get practice getting the shots we want in the real thing.
