Footage: 001 (24th September 2012)

The following footage was filmed at CNS (City of Norwich School) on the 24th September 2012 inside the hall of the school "HUB".

Our main inspiration for the following shots was taken from Sinéad O'Connor's 1989 song "Nothing Compares 2 U". This is because Myself and Sam find the reoccurring continuous close up shot of the singer/performer is very iconic and very memorable due to the use of emotional facial expressions, which emphasize the meaningful lyrics.

Myself and Sam chose to film the whole track in different camera positions. We chose to do this so when it came down to editing, it wouldn't be as difficult as we have every option to cut to X shot at X time and making sure that the lyrics are in-sync with the music track.

Please ignore the bad sound quality in a few selected clips. We chose to play the song on the surround sound speakers so that Brian - the performer, would be able to archive complete synchronization with his music track. This will most useful and beneficial during the editing process, since the track and footage is already aligned in perfect synchronization exactly.

From another point of view, in terms of an industry, this is called lip-syncing. It is often rumored that at live performances artists and bands would lip-sync some or even all of songs. This may be because of having a bad throat or that the singer is getting older and isn't able to perform as well as they did before.

For example:

I'm more than sure he's "sorry" now! Haha! No? Anyone? Awh... *sad face*.

I have to admit, that was a bad pun.

"Good footage" which I am satisfied with:

"Footage which to me is neither good nor bad" which I am satisfied with:

I only say this since we can edit out parts of the clip and only take the most interesting aspects - such as the zoom in/out of focused guitar transition.

"Footage which I find is ok, but could of been better with more planning"

which I am satisfied with:

To explain the above, the dolly which I used was sometimes shaky on the floor. We could of got out boards or some-kind of smoother surface to work on if we had the materials. Again, we can edit and cut this clip while editing to only include the parts which look appealing.
