Reshoot

After watching back our footage from the dance studio we realised that it was not as good a standard as the other footage due to it being grainy and the mise-en-scene being cluttered. Therefore we felt it was letting the overall video down. This is why we decided to do a last minute re-shoot to see whether we could get better shots and therefore make our video look of a lot higher standard. We booked the dance studio again for 3 hours and decided to do as much reshooting as we could in this time.
In order for the cluttered mise-en-scene to be less noticeable we decided to put the camera at an angle and make us dance towards the mirror than towards the camera. That way we were shooting against a white wall instead of a wall with a piano and fire extinguisher etc. This made it look much more professional and also made the mirror shots more in context as it looked as if it was shot at the same time but from a different angle.
To make sure our beauty shots were no longer grainy we took a pag light along with us to the shoot. It allowed us to have a direct beam of light on us throughout the shot allowing the camera to focus better. When watching back these shots we noticed that it looked of a much higher quality and clearer due to the pag lights and therefore were very happy we made the desicion to reshoot them.
Overall i feel our reshoot was very productive and we achieved everything we wanted to.
