GT: Reflection on Shoot 3

 For this shoot, we decided to film at Grosvenor park after the weather had previously prevented us from doing so. 


What was your role during the shoot?

• My role for this shoot was again to act as the main brother for our music video. 
• I had to convey a positive mood since this aspect of the video is set in the past, where Harry (playing my brother) is still alive. 

Which shots were less successful or problematic? Why was this?

• We were very successful in capturing what shots we had planned to capture before arriving here, and so few shots offered challenges for us to face. Despite this, an improvised shot of Harry and me with our reflections in a small stream was not captured with complete clarity and we decided to abandon this unplanned shot. 

What other challenges did you encounter and how did you respond to them?

• We faced an issue with member of the public constantly wandering into the background of some of our shots, however we knew this would be an issue before we started shooting since the location is public. We simply overcame these by recapturing the shot which didn't prove too difficult and time consuming. 
• The weather also created a temporary issue, which resulted in us packing away the gear and returning to the car to end the shoot. However the rain was only present for around 10 minutes meaning we were able to capture the fade shot we set out to capture as well as a few others. 

How did you develop your ideas for the digipak and advert on the shoot?

• We realised that the wooded areas was ideal in conveying the sombre mood reflected in the song, and from this planned to capture a variety of shots in Bedgebury which is where our next shoot will take place.
