Shoot One:
Equipment: The 600D offers a number of Creative Filter Effects that can be applied to Raw and JPEG files post-capture. This means I can easily apply effects to filming whilst on shooting location. There is also a pop-up flash which enables different lighting effects, good for when filming in dark places or minimal light. the exposure is easy to increase to help create an eerie effect whilst filming in the dark. There is also an automatic depth-of-field and there is also a setting for automated slow-motion. This would be good to see how the film would look in slow motion if I was already out on location with no editing software.

Tuesday 25th November – 2014Costume and still-shots for the shoot:
When walking around Hull's Old Town, I came across some old-fashioned new flats. I felt like this had a Victorian-era feel about it due to the ornate window frames and balconies. This also reminded me of the mise-en-scene in Oliver Twist - this being due to the tall elongated building. I felt as if an urban environment would be more realistic for a indie/niche music video as they are usually made on a low budget and wouldn't be able to afford location/studio setting in a prestigious area.
This second setting is next to Hull's Marina - this is not far from Hull's Old town, therefore, it will be easy to edit clips from the old town to the marina. I liked the setting as it was dark and the lights on the water made the cinematography look very mysterious. This location is very eerie and quite scary as there is not much artificial light, hence why the flash was used.
This photograph is taken from the boat port very close to the marina. Within this scene, my actress is on her way to Location Two. This is a long strip of boats and therefore panning can be used effectively when my subject is travelling from location to location. This either will be on a bike or by foot.
