Filming Kill it Kid

I turned up at komedia at around 5.30pm. The other people in my group had got there at around 4pm but I had to arrive slightly later as I had work experience all day.

When I arrived I found that all the cameras on tri pods had been set up and that all the cameras had been correctly set up in DV cam.

All of the filming crew had a quick meeting to disscuss the set up and also give anyone one last opportunity to flag up anything they were unsure about.

Afterwards the first support band started to play there set. This gave us a great opportunity to check the settings on the camera with the lightning and also to check the sound.

The cameras were easily adjusted but we were having real problems with the sound.

We were recording the sound through a feed from the PA system into one of the static cameras and it seemed that we were only picking up sound from one of the instruments. I must admit that I didn't really know much about this way of recording and I was thankfull when our lecturer Mike Johnston came down to sort it out for us.

After this problem was sorted Kill It Kid began to play. I was sharing a camera with Harry Symes and our role was to get in close for close ups of individual members of the band while Edem King and Simon Parrtington filmed wide shots of the entire band and Joe Wedgbury and Keiran Jones filmed backstage.

I feel That we got some really nice shots and as long as the audio is alright we should be able to put together a really nice film.
