Rehearsal plan and edited

 We were set the task to film our cast for our music video campaign and film our cast video which I have previously uploaded. Our next objective in order to make sure our cast work well together and suit the part was to do a rehearsal altogether in order to practice for when we film our test shoot prior to our final shoot. This rehearsal was to experiment with a wide shot of the band performing the song, and then to do one long continuous shot while the camera moves angles and positions into close ups and mid shots of each band member. From practicing these basic camera angles and positioning, it will give the band an idea of what we are trying to achieve and also to see if their comfortable being up close to the cameras. 

My role in this rehearsal was to be the camera operator. I filmed these shots all on my iPhone Xr and then Adrianna edited these shots on iMovie on her laptop. While Bashy played the song out of his phone, Tegan positioned the members and guided me while rolling the recording. As it was a rehearsal for our test shoot, it gave the lead singer a chance to learn the lyrics and for the band members to get an idea of their instruments and arrangement in the band. It aloud us to see how they all look together and the image which we are trying to portray as well as allowing us to get a sense of costumes for them. 

We first shot the whole band performing the song in a wide shot, with the lead positioned center foreground, while the guitarist placed either side of her, leaving space for the drummer at the back. They lip-synced the song all the way through and then I did some close up shots of each band member and their instruments. We overall did about 3 takes altogether, two in a wide shot of the whole song, and one long shot where I moved the camera around the band members in close ups and mid shots. Once Adrianna had edited all the clips, here is our final result of the rehearsal.
