PERFORMANCE SHOOT - FIRST FOOTAGE TAKE

The shoot of our group's performance today was a success, we used very good lighting and had an extensive equipment list, giving our shoot the sterotypical extensive range of instruments commonly featured in a music video (drumkit, bass and electric guitar, 2 synthesisers, amps and a microphone/stand). However, the majority of the shots were very static with limited movement and did not convey the approach that was our ideal. We wanted to shoot a more lively and adrenaline driven performance but unfortunately got a Robert Palmer style video which is the opposite of what we wanted.

It is because of lack of performance footage to use on the final clip that me and my group are going to do a second shoot with better choreography and livelier charisma from the band; ideally taking influences from The Who, The Strokes, Blur and The Rolling Stones.
