Narrative shoot feedback

Outdoor shoot 2:

After we had finished our second outdoor shoot, we came across the following issues:

• Lack of realism with busker seeing posters - Audition posters would usually be pasted all over a wall, not one randomly on a fence. This had to be re-shot the following week.
• Narrative sequence with someone trying to buy the guitar isn't clear - We simply didn't use this sequence and (Spoiler Alert) made a much simpler one of the busker just looking at his lack of money and looking dejected. 

Bedroom shoot 1

This test shoot was more a lighting test. The indoor lights were quite dim, and the natural lighting was not enough for our shots, therefore we used a portable lighting kit. The shots were successfully lit, however the narrative was slightly off as we did not have access to a drum-kit as we wanted.

Bedroom shoot 2

The lighting had already been decided and we had also decided to use an "imaginary" drum-kit to add to the meaning of our music video about the character having the dream of drumming. We also played with this footage and the actual performance drumming to convey this message. Furthermore, Aidan's mum was prepared to act as a parent in the video, and gave a realistic parental performance. We all directed the shots, giving her feedback when needed and the shots were realistic and successful. The feedback was:

• Well - lit
• Portrays meaning well and makes sense
• Good performance from both actors
