Video Evidence of Filming

This is a 180 degree pan of where I shot my second lot of filming, this place was ideal in some ways but it also had its disadvantages for example, the wind was a big issue because I had only picked a cold, wet and windy day and it effected my sisters performance when dancing and also ruined some of the shots because of the lighting change when the clouds came over, so I had to cut it quite short.
One of the advantages of this place was that it was big and quiet so there was plenty of room to practise I think I will get more shots of her dancing on here since I had to cut it short but this time I will get more of her dancing rather than shooting her making mistakes.

video evidence of filming

This is a short video to get a feel of where I was filming. This room was so Ideal as it had a higher deck where you could walk around upstairs but it had its disadvantages, it was full of wires and lights which got in the way, it also didn't feel very safe and I was a little uneasy being up high. Another disadvantage was the mirrors that were in there, but it was good because there was black out curtains that went all the way around the room apart from where the chairs were.
The chairs were a real bother because I wanted some 360 degree turns of my sister, it worked but they kind of took the focus off my dancer maybe I could reshoot the shot outside like I said I was going to do.

Stills of Filming

This is another still that I got myself from the high beam in the dance hall, I tried to get the reflections of the dancers in the mirror to add effect and to show how difficult filming could be but it actually turn out quite good in the end. The high beam went all the way around the hall and was quite easy to move around, I will be filming again in here so next time I will try and add different lighting because the hall had loads of performance lightings which could help me with the ending of my video as a kind of spot light effect relating back to the video 'The Hall of Fame' by The Script i researched. I could also have an audience where the seats were in the hall because the seats were a distraction and we couldn't really get rid of them so I could end up filling them up with an audience.

Pictures of Filming

These are some stills that my co director, Debra Hern got of me filming my sister, I really enjoyed filming in the dance hall because it was very spacious and it was fun getting all the filming that I wanted.

Pictures of Filming

These are some other stills my co director, Debra had got of me positioning myself on the high deck of the dance studio this was a great position to get and was really helpful because the dance studio we were in had loads of mirrors so it was hard to try and not get me in the shot through the mirrors so being up high really helped my filming. It was also great having black out curtains all the way around the dance hall.

Although being up high was a good shot it was also really dusty and didn't feel stable at all so it was quite hard to move around

More Planning

On this post I will be talking about how Im going to plan out the day of filming, Ive been planning it for a while so it has to be perfect.

My sister has agreed to the day of filming to be this Wednesday as the weather could be promising and we've also agreed to continue the rest of filming on a day where she's at uni but this I will need confirmation from her dance teacher, this also could be useful as there are other people in her lesson which could be good as a part of my video for the scene where it looks like she gets bullied.
Since ill be filming outside the weather needs to be kind of bright, its really hard to film since the days are getting shorter and theres hardly's anytime to film with us both being busy so I have resulted in some of the filming to be shot at night because she cant just get he full inspiration in the day time.
 I will have her walking across a bridge of some sort or taking her dog for a walk to portray that she is alone and thinking.

Ancillary Task 1 CD Cover

This image here is going to be the front page of my CD cover, as you can see I have added the singer of the song I have chosen and I have also added the name of the song in big capital letters. The font I have used for this is Myriad Web Pro Font, I used this font because its simple and it stands out more I also like how the gradient matches the background of the photo.
I decided to use this picture of my sister because she's so inline with the horizon and in such a good position, I also chose it because it portrays the video I have done, in a sense of being alone but managing to overcome big obstacles in life and the writing on her hoodie gives away the story line a bit and thats what I like about it.
