Shoot Day Account

The day before out shoot day, we went into the studio and discussed how the day's gonna go and each of us went to get separate props and kept all of them at studio just incase if we forget to bring it on the day and as we were gathering all of our props together, we realized that we were still missing 2 masks, 1 guitar and a dj set therefore we wrote it down and will try and get it as soon as we get back to the boarding house.
When I woke up in the morning of my shoot day, I felt a bit nervous and a bit stressed out because we were the first group to shoot our music video so we had less time to get our selves prepared and was really stressed but at the same time i was excited about it. When I arrived the school, went for a quick breakfast and went to the studio away to drop the dj set and the guitar just incase later on i forget about it. The beginning of the day the studio looked really simple, we had all of our props at one corner, we had a desk and a few flight cases for the shoot to put the dj set and the keyboard on because everything is done on green screen therefore we didn't have to do too much to the actual set.
Through out the shoot day we kept on rotating roles but i spent most on of the time on being the camera man and basically every time we shoot a clip, i would be focusing on the camera screen and decide weather it looks good or not and if i'm not happy with it i would suggest the director to call cut, enjoyed doing.
i think i shot some really good shots during the shoot, it was perfect for what we needed because now we've started to go through the shots and clips we have and as a group we felt that those shots were really useful and it was exactly what we needed.
During the shoot day we faced a problem of the fact that how is the flip going to be done because of the fact that we didn't have any extra crash mats therefore we were really worried about the safety of one of the dancer that was doing the flip dayo, but it turned out perfectly fine, he had no problem doing it, the shot was perfect so it all went fine.
The most successful of the shoot day would be the fact that the whole shoot went extremely smooth we barely faced any problems but i guess that's because of the fact that we had a really strong planning to the shoot day and that's why everything went so well.
During the shoot day i wish that the dancers would have rehearsed what they did because they were improvising and therefore when i was videoing it after a while i kind of felt like it was getting boring because they started to repeat the moves although it's not too obvious, you can still tell that the dance moves are getting a slightly boring.
Overall I would say the day went really smooth because even if we might have had some problems, they were all solved.

    Good work on your rough cut this week - don't forget to post screengarbs of this.
    You need to complete this account of the shoot day over the weekend please. You also need to blog the build and how you set up your studio shoot - comment on why you used green screen. Also please ensure that you blog what you have achieved in the editing suite in post-production so far. You are working towards a rough cut, but you need to keep a record of this and evaluate the process - this is the evidence needed for your blog.
