Studio Session 2 - Footage Review

After this shoot, we had completed a large section of the studio footage, so were able to create a more complete first draft of the edit- shown below:



In review of the edit, we were very happy with the overall look of the video, and the transition from actual studio footage to the VHS narrative, as it clearly made sense as to who the artist was.However, we noticed some things that we must change- the first being that we had turned up the intensity of lighting too high on the studio shots- bleaching out Josh too much. We realised that next time we must lower it for those shots.

Too much light on Josh

We also noticed that for Vivian's shots, especially the close and extreme close ups, there was a lack of light on her face, causing a reduction in focus and quality of the footage. In order to prevent this next time, we shall adjust the lighting so that it is more intense and specifically on the subjects.

Overall the shoot was a general success as we were able to apply ourselves as a team to get all shots taken multiple time without running out of time, and left time afterwards to take studio promo shots- we were also organised with costume and make up and made sure that Josh and Vivian looked good on camera. However, we noticed that the shots in studio got quite dull at points, so will purchase more accessories for the duo to wear such as a headdress and  necklace to draw more attention to them.
