Film Session - 'Gym' Scene

The next day after discussing the Gym scene we decided to head down to the school gym and get filming. Firstly we had to go to the P.E Office and ask for permission to use the Gym otherwise it wouldn't be possible to film. Once we had access to the gym we went down and set up the camera for the first being a High angle shot of the main character (Lewis) performing sit-ups, and then gathered footage of other shots such as low angle shots of the main character performing other exercises on other machines. I felt that these were the most appropriate shots to consider as we could use these shots to provide quirkiness later on in the editing stages of the video adding to the convention of an electronic music video being quirky. Within 30 minutes we had finished the filming of this scene and was ready to transfer the footage from the memory card to the Apple Mac and ready to start editing along with the other footage we had gathered so far. This was helpful as it mean that we were timing ourselves well creating the music chronologically.Some of the shots I disagreed with as the lighting wasn't suitable meaning it it looked unprofessional so in the end we decided to get rid of them shots but overall successful.
