Shooting - Summer Nites

I planned to shoot with Jack today, the whole shoot being rather inpromptu. It was difficult to get in contact with him as his phone wasn't working but in his absence I managed to film various other shots of the others in town. Additionally, the band members for the Acid Tsunamis all had other commitments so they couldn't come back to Jack's for the shoot. With this in mind, I was going to make Jack the main focus anyway which I essentially have to do now.

I was in charge of filming and chose to use a Canon Powershot SX510, it is a school-owned camera but it is quite light and easy to use which was great for the shoot - given how much walking around town we had done, this is also why I chose to not use a tripod as it might have been difficult to create the home-made and amateur shots while on the move. Filming was therefore handheld and this helped to make the shots more friendly to adhere to the theme of friends and summer with the 'home footage' aesthetic.

Once in contact with Jack, we eventually went back to his so that I could film him playing the guitar. The shoot at his was a lot of fun but it took a while for him to get comfortable with the lip-syncing, with this in mind I am quite happy with the shots as Jack's performance was well done.
Jack requested some additional shots be added such as the shot of him walking up the hill as well as him jumping onto the grass with his guitar in the shot. Due to the addition of these new shots, I have decided to include them in the final cut as Jack requested; the shot of him jumping onto the grass could be included at the end of the song too.

Rough Time Plan:

10:00am - Meet in town with the friends and Jack, possibly buy some food and refreshments before the shoot.
10:20am to 3:00pm - Film various shots around Durham city, capturing the 'summer fun' for the montage.
3:00pm - Walk up to Gilesgate to film at Jack's house.
3:30pm - Start filming the singing pieces and Jack playing the guitar, possibly get him to transfer over a cleaner sounding version of Summer Nites.
5:00pm - Go to Niamh's to get a few 'summer clips' for the video, then contact the group chat on Facebook asking friends to send some random clips from the summer.
