Production Journal 12 - Club Scene

Yesterday we filmed the club scene with all the dancers in, for our music video. I was in charge of directing again and my other team member was in charge of filming again because we thought that it worked better that way. We filmed this scene at school because it had a dark room with lighting that was sufficient for a club scene. We also gave the people at the club glowsticks. This scene was the hardest to film because the lighting was dark so when we were filming we thought the lighting was going to be really bad on film but watching it back it looks like exactly what we wanted.

Also, because we had so many people in this scene because it is our club scene, it was hard to direct a lot of people all at once.

We had to tell the dancers that were in our video what to do and at the same time we had to tell the extras that were in it what to do. Also we had trouble getting the DJ in the shot because he was at the far end of the room we were filming in. It was also hard to get everyone in a shot without it looking spacious because we wanted the club scene to look packed.

Overall, this scene went ok it wasn't as hard as we thought it would be before we filmed.
