Day One- Filming Dairy

Due to the nature of the scene that we want to portray and what we think will work effectively with the music is a party scene, Luckily we had an opportunity at a friends 18th birthday party. The footage was maily based looking down range from the DJ area to the bar, this was because we wanted to encapture the party side, drinking dancing aswell as the social talking aspect. We therefore decided to have a mixture of still shots and shots where I walked around the party asking people for birthday wishes. This meant that when you took the sound away they are speaking straight into the camera, this kept in theme with our video, and looked aesthetically good because everything done was realsitic.
People complied really easily, there was no footage that we couldnt use, the only problem that we have is the light on the camera was not strong enough to shed light when the camera was still, and when walking around with the camera, it looks just right for the effect we wanted. To overcome this we are hoping to either edit the scene lighter, or to put a filter on it and intergrate the footage with all the other footage, we feel this will look good.
We had a lot of footage to ensure we could capture every aspect, rather edit to much than not have enough to edit. This is also the first of three scenes we have decided to use in our video.
