Out taking shots...

Todays shots were quite intersting and challenging. This time we all went out as a group to shoot the neccessary scenes. Our initial plan before actually heading out was to shoot the part of the video where our artist falls down in a POV (point of view) shot and smashes a glass bottle from his hand. However due to not having the correct props to do this scene we had to switch the schedule around and shoot another scene.

So instead of shooting that scene we took a shot of darren walking down towards the camera while singing. During the whole video, we have made a pattern of trying to associate some bits of the video with a specific word from the song and so this is what we planned to do in this shot. The song lyrics qoute "I'll never keep it bottled up" and that point a bottle is thrown into Darrens reach and then he throws it away again. Shooting this scene was difficult as I was the one to thrown the bottle to darren but it was extreemly challenging to throw the bottle in the easiest way possible for Darren to catch without taking his eye off the camera. We had to shoot this scene several times before we could get it right but eventually we did.
