Day Two Filming
On this day we filmed Lauren dancing in the dancing studio we have rented out at Rhodes Centre in Bishops Stortford. We had to book this venue out a couple of weeks in advance, luckily it is near Kenz's house so it was easy for her to go down and talk to the receptionist about hiring the studio. Fortunately for us, there was a slot for an hour and a half on Friday the 6th which was the week after we had booked it and so this was perfect since it still allowed us a lot of time to edit these into our video before the rough cut due date. However, it did cost us £40 to use the dance studio for this long which was quite pricey but it was out best and only option. Also, because it was a real dance studio it gave us the look we wanted.
I think that these shots could have been a lot better, the lighting was not very good even whilst using out LED light that fixes onto the camera. We got better shots with having the lights dimmed and then using the LED but this did not give us the effect we wanted of her rehearsing as it looked more like a performance which is not what we wanted. However, we did get a lot of varied shots that showed the dancer and her emotion. I think something that we did find quite hard that we did not realise is that it is difficult to follow a dancer whilst moving and getting the camera to focus at the same time as having her in frame. We could only get a couple of seconds at a time before she then moved again. Then again, this is something that we just had to work with as we did not have a steady camera.
I think overall we got some decent enough shots to use for these scenes in our video but now looking back on it we should have prepared a bit more and thought about the lighting since it could have been a lot better if we have planned it through more.
