Test shots

In yesterdays lesson Henry and I started practising for our music video with some test shots. We are lucky that our school grounds contain the perfect scenery to act as the country lane in our video. The lighting was good because it showed all the green colours from the trees and plants which is what we want to stand out, as nature is the main focus in our video. We are now seriously considering using this location for the particular shot.

We also tested out a shot which we had discussed in the planning stage of the storyboard. It was where we used a table with wheels to act as a dolly, we then placed the tripod and camera on top of the table and adjusted it to be in line with the stage. We ran through moving the table forward towards the stage both slowly and quickly, however I felt that when it was done slowly the effect will not be very noticeable, although when we did it quickly the camera became shaky, so we would have to experiment with laying down some carpet underneath the dolly, to see whether this would improve the shakiness.
