1st Day of Filming

After arriving at the venue of our promo (Stamford Arts Centre), we had to prepare the room in a way we wanted it to appear on our promo. Here, we had a play with the stage lights available too us, and close the back curtains; testing lighting effects and visibility frequently through test shots on the video camera. We also set up all of the technical and instrumental equipment, such as amps and microphone stands, as well as extra props we had brought specially for the occasion such as fair lights to drape over the stage. During the first day, we chose to focus on getting all the performance shots done whilst the venue looked the same, to add continuity and a professional side to our video. After gaining all the performance shots we needed, we put the venue back to how it was when we arrived and decided to move onto our flashback scenes, heading into Stamford town centre for a "real" feel of the events being portrayed. Overall filming went according to plan and we didn't encounter any problems.
