Shooting Band Scenes

Upon the run up to the filming of the band shots, it was clear that there was an obstacle. In one of the shots, it consists of leaves falling on the band.

What we created was a net system in which we placed a mass of leaves upon a badminton net. This was lifted by two people on chairs who shook the net to allow for the leaves to fall.

When filming the shots it was difficult to get the leaves to fall evenly and naturally. They had instead the tendency to fall in clumps. The leaves, however fell perfectly after a certain point. Therefore, the track the band followed was played at a part before the selected shot needed.

The time within the studio was limited, therefore more band shots need to be made. Upon reflection of the shots collected, some will need to be filmed again. This is due to lighting problems and the non-continuous editing for certain shots.
