We filmed this sequence in a couple whole takes with both Leigha and Michael in the shots at once, as it helped give us a basic platform to our editing piece. To film the shots, we played the music out loud and got Leigha and Michael to sing out loud, so it would be easier to sync in time. The equipment used was a camera and a tripod, which enabled us to get different shots at different angles of the song. The dancing had to also be synced to the beat of the music. A lot of shot types were used which is the standard of a music video, the most used one was the close ups as it showed how the they were actually lip syncing with the music. The microphone was used as a prop to add to the music video feel, to make it more realistic.
I edited this sequence by using different layers for different shot types. This helped make editing easier, as you could easily cut out all the bad clips with the razor, and fill it with another shot type, without the sequence losing its timed sync and tempo.
Although this sequence was our second sequence. As our first sequence had too many mistakes, which that it made it harder to edit. There was no whole takes so the editing sequence had no basis, so when it came to editing all the bad footage out, there was no actual good footage left. This lead to my group going back out to film the whole sequence again. There is still a couple more mistakes we made in the second sequence. There wasn't a variety of shot types as there was in the first sequence.
What I have learned from the filming the performance is that i need to apply a lot more shot types to my final production. As it will create a special feel to the production, as repetitive shots can make it boring and easily forgotten.
