Performance: light

For the performance set up i arrange a night when all the band members were available, i was able to use the primary school hall to transform into a stage after closing hours. I was able to rope up two black curtains behind the band to create a plain backdrop, however this was only possible on the one back wall behind them.
I filmed both the light and dark set ups in the same night, using foot control panels
behind the camera i was able to switch the lights behind the artists on and off without having someone in shot manually controlling them. By filming them on the same night this ensured good continuity, the clothing and mise-en-scene were guaranteed to all be the same
We had the original track playing through speakers on loop in the room, from this i just had the whole band mime to the song over and over while i captured certain shots of each character each time.

For the lighter performance set up i was able to capture a lot more wider shots of the whole band during their performance.

low angle of the main artist to give him a more ideological, powerful, professional atmosphere towards him.

To the left and below shows various close ups of each singer i have filmed.
keeps to focus on the singer

This also helps to clearly shows the lip syncing to the music.

I also provided shots of the guitar playing the song, this helps to break up the shots of the characters and gives a more realistic tone to the performance set up if there are instruments playing in time.
