Filming 4th shoot - Location (Drake)

Today was our last planned date for shooting the music video. Due to rain at our last attempt at shooting at our chosen location, we'll be making a start on shooting at this location. Currently we are very short for time as our deadline is fast approaching. 

Our location at which we shot at was Limehouse with Canary Wharf as our backdrop for the music video. We shot various types of camera shots at different angles. For instance we decided to have a panning shot of the sea bank making the focus of that particular frame the buildings that made up the skyscraper. 

One of the issues we faced today at our video shoot was when we attempted to shoot a dolly shot the surface of the ground was not smooth enough for it to work out well for the music video. When we looked back at our attempts we noticed that the video shot looked extremely shaky. As a result of not having a camera shoulder holder we decided that we scrap the dolly shot and replace it with another shot. However we captured some high quality shots using the 50 mm lense which enabled us also to get the lighting bright enough as we could set the aperture to 1.8 which also created a shallow depth of field on our actor making the backdrop have a bokeh effect.

After all today was a productive day for our group as we were able to wrap up our filming. Now all that is left for us to do is to incorporate our location shots into our music video followed with transitions as well as special effects to make our music video effective.

Here are some pictures and videos of how today went for us.
