On Friday 16th October we went to film The Hit Ups , Preforming at The Croft in Bristol. We took 3 cameras and a tripod, we wanted to get a wide range of shots of the band playing. We had one camera on the tripod that was placed at a high angle to film the band and to show the surroundings. The Other two cameras were hand held going around the room capturing the crowd atmosphere and getting close ups on the band and the instruments playing. The reason we choose to have cameras going around the room and being in the crowd is because we wanted to make the viewer feel apart of the rave, and make them feel like they are there experiencing it.
To get the feel of the room we did a lot of pan shots of the crowds dancing and moving around the croft. we shot a lot of extreme close-ups of the bands mouth so we could match the words on the song to his movement when we edit on the mac computer.
we choose to use night vision because we thought it gave the footage a certain effect, we felt it made it more exciting as the rave goes on through the night . The Filming was successful and we manged to get a lot of footage to work with.
