Second day of filming

On Tuesday night I filmed my male characters rollerblading in the Skate park. I'm glad that I chose this day to film  as the weather was perfect for it, I'm really happy with the footage I've got and I think I will be able to use quite a lot of it in my first draft. I will go through all the footage of skating that I have and decide what works well in my music promo, or if I need to reshoot. I have quite a lot of time between handing in my first and second draft of my music promo, so if need be I will be able to reshoot certain aspects of my music promo. I have thought about reshooting some skating as I was only able to film two males skating and in order to make my music promo look more professional it may be a good idea to include more skaters throughout the video.
I am happy with the different camera angles that I used, as it has given me a good range of shots for my music promo. I tried to vary them as much as I could when it came to filming my male characters skating as I think it helps make the scenes look more dramatic. I used a Stabilizing handle when filming certain aspects, as this allowed me to film my characters at a low angle while they were skating, allowing me to focus on their blades. Strapping my camera to a stabilizing handle was really helpful, as it allowed my filming to flow and be fluid as it was easy to move the camera around and follow my characters while they were skating. Although I am not the best Roller blader in the world, it was important that I skated behind my characters in parts as this gave my footage more movement. This would not have looked as effective if I'd of just held the camera, as it would have been filmed from a higher angle and would have been very gerky and looked unprofessional.
