Test Shoot – Music Video

During our test shoot I was able to gain more experience of working with Rob in terms of getting the lighting set up correct; Rob initially set up the lights from his lighting plan and we tested this with some test subjects, and with a little bit of tweaking we were able to find the correct set up we required for our shoot day. The only initial and obvious challenge was to make sure that our camera operator’s shadow was never in shot and especially when using the track and dolly, we found that Rob had to make sure the lights were extended quite high up to avoid this from happening.

I brought along my Lensbaby Composer for Ross to use as well and gave him a quick tutorial on how to use the lens; he was able to play around with different styles and angles during the test shoot to see what the lens was really capable of.

Also this turned out to be a good exercise for me and Damian to communicate on set and plan out our shot list for the shoot day which has been scheduled and booked in for the 14th November.
