Filming For Our Final Cut - Day 1

After submitting our rough-cut, we immediately began to plan our filming locations for the final cut. After just a few days since we were given feedback on the rough cut, we had organised our equipment (camera, equipment, instruments etc) and transport to get everything to where it needed to be for shooting.

So after finally transporting everything, we set up our set, consisting of the drum kit, the guitars and the microphone stand. It was at this point that we realised that we only had enough people for a 3 person band rather than a 4 person band as some people were unable to film at the last minute and so Alex was in fact promoted to being the singer and the guitarist which although didn't cause us a problem, meant that our band had decreased in size since the rough cut.

Due to our casting changes at the last moment, our band had also changed from an all male band to a 1/3 male band. This ultimately did not make a difference as Alex remained the singer, although, if he were to have changed role, it could have been a female given a male voice which would have looked strange.
We have thought about how we are subverting stereotypes by doing this and we are going to be going into more detail on this on the blog to explain why we actually thought this was a really good way to have our band.

In the end, we have filmed for around 2 hours today, including setting up and packing away. In this time, we have filmed a great deal of our video and it should be interesting to see just how well this footage has turned out.

Here are some photos taken whilst we were filming.
