Review of Rough cut video

After filming 10 days ago we have quickly roughly cut what we don't need, this means we are now able to review it and decide on ideas such as :

1. if we need more footage
   
2. if our footage is appropriate
   
3. whether we need an interview with our footage.
4. what transactions we need
   
5. is the lighting okay
   
6. is the setting okay
   
7. can we see the band
   

After discussing these ideas as a group we decided that , we needed more footage , although it was appropriate it wasn't long enough,( we booked another date for a gig with the band and went and got more footage). We also decided that the interview was not necessary and we had to concentrate on the other filming but would try and fit it in if we had time. we decided that the transactions could be rough and didn't need to be precise as this fits with the edge rough genre of the band. when discussing if we could see the band correctly we decided that although it was not perfect it was the best we could get as we wanted live raw footage.

After Filming

We did our filming in january. before filming "The Hype " ( out chosen band ) we also filmed a few other bands to get an idea of camera angles, lighting and other technical things that we had take into consideration before we went. this was as a saftey net, therefre if the camera angle, lighting or any other techincal situation was not up to the standered we needed we still had the time and ability to change it before filming our bands performance.

Overall our filming or the band we were focusing on was sucsess full as we got the right shoots, he lighting and audio was correct and the band's performance was all round sucsessful. however before filming we had come across some difficulties. We had to wade ourself through the crowd, changing positions a few times to get the right shots needed. Also half way through, a couple of people at the front stood up and began to dance, meaning our film crew had to move again to get a good shot.

Alltogether our filming was sucsessfull and as well as filming the band in live action we will include interviews with the band off set, as well as interviews with people that have seen the band live.

We will need to also think about doing a photo shoot as well, for the dvd promotion cover and poster. We have looked into ideas of real media's in our pre production, analsing different posters and DVD covers.
