First off, we had the filming equipment on hand, but we still needed to get the instruments for our imitation of the band.
So as we were getting those, Shane made his way to his house to prepare his dining room to look like a pub-like environment that would suit our needs. This turned out to be much better than the previous location of the theatre workshop at our school because though it was more convenient for us, it did not look as authentic.
L to R - The first shoot compared to the re-shoot
There was better lighting and better access to more realistic props which overall led to the atmosphere we wanted
Setting up for production
Taro is watching the actual music video of the Creed's Cross song we are making the video for as inspiration for any new shots we might have wanted to incorporate.
Whilst Adrian is memorising and rehearsing the lyrics to the song.
We made use of Shane's speaker to play the actual song so the timing for the lip syncing would be easier for Adrian. Also, Taro held up the lyrics for Adrian to see so not only would he know the words, but also so that he would look directly at the camera whilst I was filming him.
