Preproduction of My Retake

For my product production retake four members of my class and I will be filming 'Kill It Kid' live at 'Komedia'.
'Kill It Kid' are a band from Bath and have been described as a blues, rock and soul group. They have attracted quite a bit of national attention with NME rating their debut album 8 out of 10.
I have prepared for the upcoming shoot by familiarising myself with the 'Kill It Kid' material available online.

Here is a music video for their up and coming single, 'Pray on me':




Komedia is the venue in which we will be filming 'Kill It Kid'. Komedia Is a small chain of venues that put on stand up comedy, theatre and live music shows.

As you can see from the image, Komedia is a relitively large venue for bath, especially since it has balcony that seats around 100 people and can be seen at the top this picture.
When the balcony is open to the
public the venues capacity is around 600.

I did a rece of the venue and spoke to Komedia's technical adviser who discussed with me the possibility of rigging a camera to the lighting rig and also ran through with me the areas in which it would be best to set up static cameras. He also informed me that it would be highly unlikely that the balcony would be open so my group could set up a camera up there for a wide angle shot.
