Blog 17 - Rejected footage

In this shot, extracted from our first filming date (the one where 90% of the footage was busted) not only am I not singing into a microphone, but Jesse, the drummer, is not even playing atall! This was unacceptable to use in our video, and it ended up in this blog.



Despite being new to the technology, Doug proved very competent and disciplined with his camera use. However he did have his slip ups. This, once again, is from the first date of shooting. The idea was to get a fast paced, perfectly timed rhythmic pattern that me and the drummer both followed. However in order to capture this action, my right hand needed to be in the shot. As you can see it is simply my stationary left hand within the composition. The audience would interpret this as confusing perhaps, and would definitely not portray what we wanted whilst designing the footage. The shot went straight out of the question for usage, despite being a cool concept.
