This was our first shoot. Our plan was to finish all of the performance shots including the balloon performance shots. However, we fell behind a little and only managed the wide shots, with and without balloons, and the glidecam shots. We also managed to squeeze in one take of an MCU of Kayvon at the end of the shoot with the balloons in the background. We thought we did very well for a first shoot and got lots of footage that we will be able to use. We worked on our band performance a lot. In our first take of the day, we all looked quite stiff and reserved but Mahalia was able to motivate us and get us into character. There is a huge contrast between the footage that we filmed at the start and at the end of the shoot. Despite not getting all of the shots that we wanted, we're very happy with the shoot overall as we made a lot of progress in terms of performance and did get some really good shots, with some nice glidecam footage and some really good takes of the whole-band performance.
This footage shows how our performance improved over the duration of our shoot. In the first clip, Kayvon looks quite uncomfortable, smiling awkwardly and not moving. Alice is not moving at all and looking down at her bass. I'm focussing on drumming instead of performing and, most importantly, we aren't interacting at all with each other. In the second clip, Alice and Kayvon are much more dynamic and I am looking up more and look more comfortable. Kayvon and Alice turn to each other more and their interaction is much more clear and natural.
