Today we filmed our animatic storyboard. We decided to enlarge each shot so that they could be easily seen on camera and then placed them on individual steps of a staircase. We wanted to film on a staircase as this relates to the idea of spirals and hypnotism, linking to our song 'Hypnotic', it also made it easy to film fluidly from one shot to the next as we held the camera whilst walking up the stairs. We played our song out loud whilst filming so that we could get the timing correct. As I filmed the shots, the rest of the group directed me when to move as they looked at the original storyboard. The first take was too shaky and didn't focus correctly so I tried harder to hold the camera still on the second take, this turned out well. We still need to edit the footage, so hopefully we will be able to upload the final animatic storyboard soon.
This task was extremely beneficial as it allowed us to see whether our storyboard suited our song and whether our proposed timings worked well. It also showed that filming without a tripod is harder than we thought, we will have to keep this in mind when it comes to filming our final music video should we choose to include handheld shots.
