The Strangers

The Strangers

A band called the strangers visited Saffron Walden County High School on the 9th of November. Our class was set up into two different groups to film them whilst they performe. We asked them to play their song 'If I Found Love'. In our group we decided to have three different camera angles; one getting a high angle on the instruments whilst they play and another camera which was facing them directly so that we could get some close ups of the band performing together and finally we decided to have a dolly so that we could pan around the band, we also decided to use this so that we could get some close ups of the band playing their instruments. We will be using all of the footage that we have captured to make a music video for the song that we have chosen to do. Whilst doing this task we have encountered a few problems, for example one of the main problems is matching the tempo of the song to the music video. The reason why this is going to be hard for our group to complete is because the song that they performed live at our school is different from the version that we are going to use to match with out music video. Our group will have to overcome this problem and watch the song with video as close as we can. From this experience is has taught me a lot of things to consider when filming for my actual A2 prodcution. It has taught me that i will need to plan everything and make sure that i'm comfident with each element of the production. This accounts for the Storyboard, prop list, actors, and everything i will need to film my production.
