Reshoots

Prelim Filming

Reshoots were required after the initial preliminary filming due to lip syncing not matching up with the lyrics of the song; I decided a reshoot was necessary because the original footage when edited look unprofessional due to this issue.

After the reshoot, this problem was solved.


Filming the pool scenes (day time)

I needed to reshoot these scenes because the previous footage was shaky from pressure underwater. To fix this, I used somebody to hold the camera down on a tripod for some of the long shots underwater. When I wanted to use low angle shots, I had to rest the camera at the bottom of the pool. During the reshoots I also thought it would be a good idea to experiment with some shots of me 'drowning'; I achieved this by mounted my camera to the side of the pool, just under the waters surface.

          Night time

I decided to also do some reshoots at night time in the pool so that I could achieve a more diverse range of              shots in a different setting. This shoot did have some complications as the pool was not heated at this stage so the pool was freezing; the filming had to be rushed.
             

Long distance filming (beach)

I filmed some footage on the beach as there was an opportunity to film some cool shots here but when it came to editing together a rough cut, there were some shots which I felt were missing. Because the location was quite far away, a reshoot was difficult but I achieved it; getting the shots I felt I needed.


Digipak photoshoot

After the initial shoot, I felt the pictures I had captured were not appropriate to the final outcome I had in mind. After this, an extra two shoots took place to get some images that I was happy with using. Some of my digipak photos are from when I filmed the pool scenes.


Music Video Lip Syncing

I decided to shoot all my lip syncing scenes separate to the rest of the video so I had a clear cut plan of what I had done and what I needed to do. The reshoot was needed because some of the lip syncing was out of time so when reshooting I decided to place the lyrics behind the camera with the song playing to enable more accurate lip syncing.
