Group - Brighton Recce Reflection

• On the 27th September both media classes went on a trip to do some filming in Brighton.
• This was to help us in trying out different locations, shots and atmospheres for our music video and to improve on our skills that we learnt at AS.
• Brighton is a more urban environment compared to our AS trip to Wilderness Woods and this proved to be much more challenging. For example, Brighton's streets are obviously less controlled and busy whereas Wilderness Woods was quiet and isolated.
• We were given a brief that included having to shoot:
• 2 exterior locations
• 2 interior locations
• high and low angle suitable for a performance
• POV handicam shot
• Variety of CUs suitable for instruments etc
• This provided us with ideas on how to frame our shots in a way that could be used in a music video of our own. 
• As we had a specific amount of time to film in we were pushed to make creative decisions in a short period of time. This should help us when filming our own music video as we will set ourselves deadlines and manage our time according to what shots we need and when.
