Introduction
In this blog post I am going to document my days spent filming on location for my music video! I will include photo's taken of my set ups.
Filming Day One
First day of filming began with getting my kit ready. I had already planned all of this out in my "Filming Planning" most. I will be filming using a Canon EOS 60D with a EFS 18-135mm zoom lens. I will be using two tripods, a cullman and a hama. The cullman also me to pan and tilt the camera, whereas the hama does not but is much lighter weight and can extent a lot higher, all pictured below:
The pictures below, show my set up for filming in the church, featuring Vincent. I had issues leveling the the camera, due to the uneven flooring. I had to use the leveling screen on my screen and adjust the tripod legs to different heights accordingly.
I also filmed at two house locations. The first was my own home, where the posting the letter through the door scenes were filmed. The second house location was my neighbor's kitchen, which I chose due to its plain walls, drawing the focus to the actor not the environment. Here is my set up for the ring scene:
Here is my set up for the "home alone I hang my head in sorrow" scene:
Filming Day Two
For the second day of the filming, I was the actress. This had to be done, as I decided last minute that I needed scenes with a female in a wedding dress to add to my footage. I wore my mother's wedding dress. An issue I faced here was setting up the camera, while wearing a wedding dress, it was difficult to move the tripod. Pictured below:
Another issue faced here was gaining the footage, was I was the actress. I started off using a cable shutter release, which allowed my to basically hold a wire and press the button when I wanted to start filming. However, this do not work well as you could see the cable in my hand and the cable didn't allows reach far enough. As I do not own a remove shutter release (wireless, like a TV remote), I had to find another option. I used an assistant to press the button on and off for me. I also turned the camera screen around so that I could check that I got the manual focus correct and was framing myself in the shot well. This is pictured below:
