Dance Routine and Location/Filming Trial

After storyboarding our music video, we decided to go to our location for the beginning of the song and trial our dance routine and camera movements and angles. To begin with, we used the Sony HVR HD 1000 camera to film with but unfortunately we didn't realise the camera didn't have much battery life left so shortly after we began filming the camera battery went. However, as we had already reached our location and planned out what we were going to do, we decided to film on a iPhone 6 camera. This means we have footage to look back on evaluate which is the video shown above. Luckily, before the Sony camera battery completely died we were able to capture some footage that we can potentially use in our final music video. On the other hand, from looking at this footage as a group I think we need to reevaluate costumes and lighting as me being the main artist, Fergie, I don't stand out from the backing dancers and strike the audience as the main character. We also decided we need to film earlier on in the day when it is light as possible, as this was filmed early evening around 3/4pm but is still too dark and not clear enough. However, this may be due to the poorer quality camera on the iPhone 6 though.
