Evaluation of 1st and 2nd Shoot

Looking back no the tapes, we have A LOT of work to do. The dancers where not in frame, the ligthing was too bright, our location had unwanted objects (radiator covers) which would make it almost impossible to edit out. Due to this, we had to rescheduale another shoot. We've may have lost a lot of time, however, we are now more prepared and organised and understand what to do straight away.

SPECIFIC FAULTS:

I found that using three cameras wasn't as effective nor efficient as using one or two. We should run through it a good 3 times and we (cameraman) needs to have one/two cameras - one close up and one in mid long shot in order to get the subject in the correct frame. I'll also be keeping an eye on the cameras (going behind them to look at the screens) to check if the dancers are in frame.

The dancers were lit too bright, almost distorting their faces. As we will now be in the green room (with a black backdrop), we need filler lights to get rid of any shadow and we should adjust the main lights that would give a good contrast.
