Day Two Shooting: Gig

We had planned to film at our next gig a few days after Christmas. The original plan was to film the final 4 or 5 songs from various angles with two cameras. In the end we had no one to film as I was on stage. We had to get our lighting man to film some which was frustrating because most footage is from behind. However there is plenty that can be used for the website and sufficient shots to use in the video, we will just have to replan our choruses.

We filmed a little bit of pre show footage that we thought might be useful in the video. (I got this inspiration from Paradise City by Guns n Roses.) All it was was just us having a drink and walking into the venue, but I feel they could be used to create that effect that it feels like you are there. Like in the Oasis video I analysed, The Hindu Times. A technique that I really want to use in our video.

The actual gig footage is good, but should have been much better with only half the group being there. We did not get as many, or as good quality shots as I wanted but there's nothing we can do about this and will have to work with what we have which is by no means poor footage, but it will need some kind of engineering to work in our video.
