PLANNING TEST SHOTS

PLANNING TEST SHOTS 

Planning test shots is important as this helped us  get used to the camera as well as the artist being comfortable. We had taken many test shots of the potential performer as well as some potential locations we are planning to film. This task was useful as we were able to get used to the camera and familiarise ourselves with it once again both with and without the tripod. when filming our music video we plan not to  use the tripod as in most videos we see that it is not used and when it has been used the quality of filming is not so good. When planning our test shots we went to the skate park where we would be filming and the charecter was doing potential skills which he will be doing when we film. Doing this helped our artist feel comfortable in front of the camera as well as being able to practice his skills which he will be doing in the music video.

Here as shown above we have a long shot of our artist. The long shots we have taken as it clearly illustrates the style of our artist. We clearly see by looking at the artist the kind of style we are planning to get is formal where the artist would wear what young people wear today whic would include trainers, hoodies, jumpers, jackets etc. Taking test shots allowed the performer again be comfortable in front of the camera and get used to the idea of being filmed.

Overall this was useful as we were able to visit our locations as well as having the chance to take shots of our potential performer and have an idea of the types of clothing as well as the shots we would use.
