Initial Filming Results

After going out for a first shoot, the results are not as promising as I had initially hoped. There are a few issues with the setting for the band shots appearing too cluttered, looking more like a bedroom than a studio.
There was also an issue with the singer finding it awkward to play guitar and sing at the same time, as it weighed him down quite a lot and drastically reduced his ability to move. In addition to this, the bassist found it difficult to supply backing vocals in time with the music.

It also appears that the multiple locations for the footage of the clown will be too confusing, as it makes it difficult to build up a sense of continuity with continuously changing locations.

Therefore I have decided to redo the storyboard with three main goals in mind :

• Break the band shots up so that each member is filmed individually. This will make the shots appear less cluttered, allow me to use the space more effectively and make it much easier to film, only requiring one person at a time rather than three.
• Add a fourth member to the band, to be playing guitar and performing backing vocals in order to make things easier for the lead singer and bassist. This will mean a brief modification of my plan for the website.
• Reduce the number of locations for the clown shots, so that I can build up a sense of continuity and be able to use the locations creatively for the filming (especially the playground)
