Professional Practice: Shooting the Video

Toady we finished the shoot in the studio. We spent around 4 hours recording different songs. We shot short sections from around 10 songs. Our sound was recorded straight from the sound deck through an iMac. I am really pleased with the quality of the sound.

I used a Sony EX Cam to shoot most of our wide shots, and had two Canon DSLRs to shoot close ups and GVs from different angles. We decided to shoot with a studio feel and made the most of the surroundings available. We hired studio lighting which looked really effective in our shots. I also used a small Go-Pro camera which we attached to the end of our client's guitar. This has given us some really cool angled shots looking along the strings of the guitar.

Our clients were really easy to work with today and provided us with all of the footage we needed. The clips from the shoot look great and I'm really excited to start editing them! Here are some still which I have taken behind the scenes at todays shoot.
