Professional Practice: Go Pro Shots

During our shoot, we used a GoPro camera which we attached to the bottom of Jed's guitar to get some close up clips of him playing. After reviewing the clips, I wasn't really happy with how they looked, and thought that they looked messy at time and also gave a strange angled shot which almost made you feel a bit sea-sick if you looked at it for too long! I originally planned to use these clips in the transition of each track, but decided to leave them out as it didn't fit with the style of the video and just wash't to the same standard as the other clips we shot. These clips also caught some ugly things in shot such as the light rig, a window, and sometimes even me filming! Also, they fought a nasty reflection from the lighting we used which also took away from the initial shot which was another reason why I chose to leave them out. Heres a still from one of the clips so that you can see what the angle looked like and why I decide not to use these shots.
