Shoot Day 1-05/12-Location: Rooftop

We had one of our important locations tested and shooted some of this footage, which possibly be used for the final video. This location was the rooftop of a car park, on New Malden high street. We have thought of some very good ideas for the final video, in addition we had previously learnt the importance of cut-away and so saw a major opportunity to shoot some today at the rooftop, we had learnt this from our research, where we could see a lot of cut-aways used which allowed and let the viewer piece by piece create the location of the particular shot.
We had also learnt something very important to look out for whilst doing this shoot, which was about the lighting, which could show your shadow, in addition is the, camera angle and which way the camera is facing.

You may just be able to see the shadow on the bottom left, this was one of the problems we realised instantly, the cameraman needs to be placed in accordance with the artist but somewhere that the artist is not deeply effected by the natural light in their eyes or the camera and the cameraman are not effected either, as the if the sunlight went into the shot, it destroys the surroundings in the shot, scenery and usually that frame or shot would go bright white and the camera struggles to focus, finding the right positions and angles was difficult but, in the end we were able to get good shots.We were able to find angles where neither factor would be effected, examples of this are shown below.
