Recording + Editing 2nd March

AGAINNNN... although to be better prepared this time we booked the Northwood Campus Dance Studio we went to use it and there was still exam desks out :-|. To save time we used the Drama studio again but this time on the Northwood Campus, which is slightly better as the lighting is really professional and the spot lighting is powerful, also there was mirrors for us to practice our routine together and yet again black floor and carpets to give the blacked out background illusion we desired originally.
The camera seemed to be a lot clearer and more precise pictures when used in this room, I believe this was due to the lighting used- We set it up so it was spot lighted for where we were to perform the choreographed routine which we had previously made. We recorded the dance scene from three different angles all though it turned out it was all looking best on the face on scenes so this is what we found we used most of during the editing process. One member of the original actors couldn't attend as she had been in an accident, but we managed to carry on as it had to get done and had been planned previously! And it still looked as good with just the three actors so it was not a major concern.

Again we was all dressed similarly in black , although I wore grey leggings instead of black because for the first part I was doing the miming and was in the middle so it looked quite good for one of us to be different and also broke up the background.We also did small solo parts to add in which we found was quite popular amongst other girl groups videos.

During the editing we found it most difficult to get the track over the top fit perfectly to the words and stay in sync to the words our mouths were miming although after carefully cutting and trimming each clip individually we made it work and looked very professional.
