Performance Location Scouting

After I lost a lot of my footage, I, along with my teacher, decided that I would add some performance footage to piece my clips together.
I went location scouting around the campus, and found some locations where I think would be very effective for a performance.

I used one of my classmates as a 'model' to see what it will look like when I film for real.

I started with the main hall, where I tested out different angles and shots to see which ones I could use, and which would look good alongside the others clips in my video.

 

I love this angle, and might use it for a shot or two.

I took this shot from a chair in the hall, and I like the angle; it looks as if he's being filmed by someone in the audience of a gig, which I think I will use.

These last 3 shots are something that I have used throughout my clips, and shows the contrast between a white and black background, and I think they would even better in black and white. When I do this for real, I will consider covering the walls with either white or black paper or card, if the room I took these photos in are busy.

 

There is another location where I will shoot a performance clip but haven't taken pictures of, are the music rooms. There is a small 'studio' type room in which I can film, and I will have access to a microphone and a microphone stand, which will make it look even more professional.

 

I will update this post when I have someone to be the lead singer, and I will take pictures from the shoot to add to my blog.
