This post explains what problems arose in our All That Glitters shoot, shows some pictures from the shoot and discusses what we will do in the future to avoid these same mistakes.
All That Glitters Shoot 1
On Thursday 14th we shot our All That Glitters set up. We believe that our this shoot turned out to be unsuccessful. This is because:
- We became aware after watching the footage that my costume (Alicia's) relied on the glitter aspect of the outfit being on the shorts. This didn't appear in the footage due to the guitar being in front of it. Therefore this made us look less like a girl band and decreased our synergy.
- The projection wasn't as effective as we thought it would be, with the colours not standing out enough and possibly looking even more muted in contrast to our pink lighting.
- Although we believed at the time that we were performing to the best of our ability, looking back on our footage we found it boring. Next time we need more energy and more smiling.
- We would like to reshoot trying different shot types as although Emily is the main singer in our band, me and Olivia being right at the back gave the portrayal that we were a band backing a solo artist. Therefore we need to be closer together next time.
We have booked a reshoot from 11am to 9pm on Tuesday 26th.
Further Preparations
One thing we've been noticing about our shoots is that although we have been prepared we haven't been preparing enough. This was the main fault with our All That Glitters shoot. Therefore we have comprised a to do list that we definitely need for Boy Band (which we are also shooting on Tuesday 26th).
- Arrange microphones. (ASAP)
- Make sure we have the costume off the boys we are borrowing it from. (ASAP)
- Rehearse dance routine (video below) (on going)
- Practise the dance routine in the studio (Friday)
- Specifically test the setting up of the lighting so we are completely prepared on the day. (Friday)
