The document summarizes the filming of a music video on Richmond Bridge. It discusses the shots taken of the performer walking along the bridge, including wide shots, mid shots, close ups, and shots using the rule of thirds. Between shots, the filmmakers discussed the emotions to be portrayed with the performer. The main problem was members of the public getting in shots, but the filmmakers worked around this by waiting for clear shots. Filming duties were split between the two filmmakers to utilize their different skills. Footage was reviewed as they filmed to ensure the best shots were captured.

1. Filming Day 1
BEHIND THE SCENES
Verse 1 – Richmond Bridge
Date: 25th October 2013
Time: Midday
Costume: jeans, jumper, boots, coat

2. Shot Types
We started off taking shots of the
performer walking along the bridge. We
took a variety of shots to showcase our
ability of using the camera effectively
e.g. wide shots, mid shots, close ups,
over the shoulder and incorporating the
rule of thirds into it.

8. Discussions
We made sure to talk to the performer
in between shots to make sure that she
understood what emotions she was
meant to be portraying and making sure
it suited the theme of the lyrics. Also, we
were giving her motivation and
encouragement as it was slightly cold
and we were repeating the shots over
and over to make sure we got it just
right.

10. Problems..
The only main problem we had was the
public that were passing by that kept
getting into the shot or looking into the
camera which ruined the illusion of it
looking natural. We overcame this by
waiting to shoot when they wasn’t looking
directly at the camera and they wasn’t
obstructing the view of the performer. We
didn’t want to cut the public directly out of
the video as this would appear to be
unnatural as there usually are people
walking by in a natural environment.

11. Although it looks
rather odd, Kellie
and I both
decided to film
here as we
wanted to film a
certain shot to the
best of our ability
and it was difficult
to use those
camera function
by yourself. I was
carefully doing
the zooms while
Kellie was
panning and
tilting the camera.
This was so there
wasn’t any
unnecessary jolts
in the camera
movements. We
wanted to use
these to functions
together to create

15. Role Allocation
We made sure to give out the
responsibility of filming to more than just
one person. This is so we could bring
across an array of different skills rather
than that of one person. In some of the
pictures in this slideshow you can see that
myself and Kellie are both filming. I was
better at creating angles and close ups
whereas Kellie was better at filming
without the camera and adding movement
to the shots using pans and tilts,

21. Reviewing the Footage
We made sure to look over the footage as we
were filming to ensure we took the best
possible shot we could. We didn’t want to leave
so quickly after shooting the shots we did in
case it resulted in us wasting time redoing
those shots on another day. We made sure the
footage was up to good standard before we
moved onto anything else. Although we had
days on our production schedule allocated to
reviewing footage, we thought it would be best
to do it on the day as we wouldn’t face any
continuity problems filming it again on the same
day as opposed to doing it on another day.
