The location recce at Brighton was very beneficial to me in a number of ways...
-Even more than the recce to Wilderness Woods last year, I learnt that time management is vital. We were able to get lots of shots in multiple locations. This enabled us to pick and choose shots in the editing process with freedom. On the other hand, time ran out for us when capturing stills for our digipak/magazine advert.
-I really enjoyed filming outside, I feel that this provided good lighting throughout the montage sequence. We did not get round to filming many shots in interior locations, but I don't think we needed to on reflection.
-In terms of practicality, one of our batteries did run out quite early on which didn't help. In spite of this, we still had enough charge on the camera to shoot a good amount of film.
-The actual footage captured in Brighton was of high quality, with a variety of shot ranges, angles and movements.
-From the trip, I have learnt that I should pronounce lyrics with greater mouth actions to make my performance more believable. Furthermore I have learnt that for a sequence like a music video where there is often a fast cutting rate, steadier handicam shots would help make the end product appear more professional. Obviously there is not always time to set up a track or tripod set, but nonetheless it would be good if in our final product we could incorporate as much specialised equipment as possible.
good work Tom
