Responsive: Dazed - Shooting the Live Footage

Molly, Katy and I had originally planned to shoot all of our footage in one of the photography studios because we believed that this would give us a lot more control over who was in the shot, not having to wait for the public to walk past before shooting, etc. However, when we went to see Matt in AV, he brought it to our attention that it would most probably be more time efficient and less stressful to go outside and shoot, as we wouldn't have to wait for a studio to be free and we wouldn't be on such a tight time slot. After discussing this, we decided that this would be a better option, as we wanted to take quite a few different shots and experiment a little with different situations. 

Matt also kindly pointed out that we should aim to shoot everything in the same location to save time and to give all of our work consistency (the only thing we couldn't shoot outside was our stop motion). Again, we discussed this as a group and sat down to come up with a few thumbnail sketches of our initial ideas of what we wanted to achieve during this shoot. We decided that we wanted to have a section in each video where we could place the Dazed logo over the footage but still see what was going on, so Molly suggested that we have a few wide shots that come in at the end so we could place the logo above the people.

On Scene 

The shoot went really well, we had no difficulty getting there and Burley Park itself was relatively empty so we didn't have any issues of people walking onto shot. At this point we had also gained the help of Mel to do our dancing scene for us and we are really happy with what we have for that video. Everyone was very co-operative and I feel that our time was used very effectively and that we, as a group, were very well organised. Overall, it was a great experience and I enjoyed being outside for a change, we gathered lots of relevant footage and I now have to edit it all together whilst Molly and Katy continue to work on pattern designs.
