Setting up before the shoot

The day before the shoot we started to set up our most complex set for it to be first, as this would save us a lot of time the next day. The first set that we were shooting was the DJ set, this included perspex, painting the scaffolding black, attaching white matte sheet and setting up the DJ decks. We were in contact with our make up artist, as she was in for a different groups music video so I was able to speak to her in order to confirm what look we were going for.

We had collected all of the DJ equipment the day before the shoot in order to make sure that we had it on the day and so that the lenders wouldn't forget to bring it in. We brought the scaffolding which was built to the studio and started to paint it black, so that it wouldn't come up in the camera. After, we let it dry for a bit and then came back to attach the the matte sheets to close the DJ set up, so that hid legs and the lights underneath weren't seen. We also had to put the blinders behind the DJ set to make it stand out more.

Earlier in the day we had the opportunity to go and see how a different groups music video was going. We were able to analyze and see what types of things we would need to think about and it gave us a slight inside into what was expected of each of the roles.
