Filming - Hemswell Cliff 6


This was our fourth band shoot which we had organised the week before and we were only expecting to film Hollie, Mollie, and me, as we were unable to contact Steve and Alex was unable to make it due to work.

After Hollie and I arrived at Stef's house for the shoot, we went over to Mollie's to collect the drum kit and the guitar Mollie was going to use. We asked Mollie's mum if she could drive the drum kit over to our filming location and we could walk over to it with the rest of the equipment. When she agreed, we packed the drum kit into the car.


While we were packing up the drum kit and putting it in the car so we could take it over to our location, Stef received a call from Steve, saying he was able to make it so we told him where we were going to film and he planned to meet us there.

We arrived on location and started to set up the drum kit as Steve arrived and helped us. As a local business was open, we decided that we should move away so that it wasn't as loud and wouldn't disturb them as much.

When set up, Hollie had a practice on the drum kit and we then filmed it. Like on Thursday when we re-shot Alex's part, we reshot Hollie's, this time doing a moving camera so to give a different feel.

We then took the camera, microphone, microphone stand, iPod, and iPod speakers over to the singer location while we left Mollie and Steve with the drum kit as Hollie was going to hit play on the iPod for Stef.

While filming, some of the local children came towards us and decided to watch. This caused me to become less confidence in my performance but this was solved by Hollie singing with me. This made me even more confident while filming and I became more energetic, interacting with my stand and with the camera, as I was concentrating on Hollie's singing rather than my own.

Following this, we returned to Steve and Mollie and Steve was helping Mollie play the guitar and this showed us that Mollie had not practised enough so we told her we would film her part later when we filmed the entire band as it was getting darker due to the time.

Steve and Stef then went down to a different location and he played the first part of his own part while Hollie controlled the iPod. We only filmed a small part as Steve was unsure on the solo and a lot of the song so we agreed to refilm his parts at a later date.

The drum kit was then deconstructed and walked back over to Mollie's as her mum was not home when we called.
