Starting to shoot

The shoot

Iv have started the shoot and the editing process. I originally wanted this shoot to be a test run but by the time i got to grips with the camera , lighting and directing my model , I was on a roll and just ended up getting it done. The difference between Stills and moving was a challenge at that. Silly things like having to shoot everything in landscape i didn't realise until conducting the shoot. The way a person moves is also alot harder to direct in film. Shooting everything enough times that in post production you have a selection rather than being stuck with one choice. It took me roughly 4 hours to have 20minutes of use able filming i could have had hundreds of images in that time. But overall i feel very positive about the shoot . I feel i have all of the main components to start an edit. The only things i didn't have access to are fake tan , shoes and we ran out of time to do nails but after constructing the structure of the video and these things are necessary ill go back and re-shoot them .

 

First edit

On uploading all my footage , i realised there is a mass so i needed to start picking out the weaker clips , anything repeated or out of focus .Irrelevant or just that i didn't like them. My first cut i have managed to get the 20 minutes of footage down to 13 minutes . I have made this its own untouched sequence so that if in a later stage i edit something i want back here i can find all the good clips . The next hopefully will go down to 4 or 5 minutes and after that I'm aiming for a 2 minute final piece. I have already asked Sonny to work on the audio around 2 minutes.
