Mini-Vid First shoot

We did our first shoot on the 21st of June. When shooting we decided to do this in school time as we could get the group together whne we were all free and also use the perfect location for our shoot. The perfect location was the main entrance to the school as the doors are automatic and give the character a sense of power and the cool look we were going for. It put great emphasis on the opening sequence. the location was perfect as the corridor was wide so it could fit many people in it and film the scene with ease.

We then asked many of our friends to be in our mini-vid and many people accepted as we had around 20 volunteers to take part. We then organised them to come to the main entrance and put them into the right places within the scene so it gave our video a sense of realism and continuity. As there was a large group it was very hard to organise and a lot of people became very impatient which made it much harder to organise however in the end it worked very well

Another location we used was the stairs at the end of the corridor. Here we got me to slide down the stair banister to again give the character a cool look like a sort of james bond style character.

Another thing that worked well was the use of props we organised. We gathered lots of paper from the recycling bin and scrunched them into balls to throw at me. This was used to go with the name of the song 'staying alive' and that nothing was getting in my way. we also gathered a football and when walking past it i header the ball. in the end we were very pleased with how the shoot went as we got many shots to work with and most of them were very good shots at that
