Group: Brighton trip review

Yesterday, both Media classes went to Brighton to get a feel of how we are likely to go about shooting our music video, to practice specific design shots and to get a feel of how to perform to the camera. This reccie trip was different to the one we undertook at Wilderness Woods last year because we were in a completely different location and there were as a result a lot more people.

Whilst this could have been problematic, as we had more external constraints on us as we were performing whilst people were watching, for us this reccie was actually very useful because the location worked very well for us and we are now thinking strongly of using Brighton as (one of) the location(s) for our shoot.

We tried a number of different shots - some of our own design and some we were asked to do - to a varying degree of success. One of our shots, which included us filming Cameron in four positions around a bouy, went wrong, as there was some camera movement, and thus when we cropped the images they did not fit together. Nonetheless, it was still good to try out the shot, and also have a go at attempting to edit the different shots together to produce one image.
