Reflection on Music Video Study Day - Making the video

We had to recreate 'Let Me Entertain You' by Robbie Williams.

To recreate the video, we had to have performers. We were set up in the college dance studio, and there were 2 guitars, a bass, a drum kit, 2 microphones for backing singers, and also, a microphone for 'Robbie'. In total, we did 5 takes, all of us experimenting with performing and using the camera. There were 5 cameras in total, 2 of them are handheld, to get abstract shots of things like the guitars, or close ups of the performers faces. I have learnt a lot from this exercise, it was a lot of fun, and also really interesting, I learnt that when performing, you have to really engage with the music, and make it look as dramatic and rock'n'roll as possible. Also when filming, you have to think about the shots you want to get, and how effective it will look. Below are some pictures that were took when I was both performing and filming.
