David Barbarossa Shoot - Cauldronated - First Professional Live Shoot Ever Ever
Saturday 11th October, 2014 - Open Day
Having gone out on the piss the night before (probably not my brightest idea) I was somewhat nervous when I woke up in the morning still feeling drunk.
Looking back now; several weeks into my third year, I'm glad I made the decision to change modules over the summer. Sports and Live Events is so incredibly hands-on and I've learnt more in a few weeks than I feel I learnt the entire of Art Film and Music Video last year.
The time leading up to the shoot I was worried about getting thrown into the deep end. Whilst being thrown into the deep end, it was stressful. I felt like myself, Mischa and Charlotte weren't doing anything productive or were just getting in the way. It was tough being surrounded by people who all knew what they were doing and had a synergy as a group already.
But the first shoot went amazing.
I was on Camera 5 I believe. Setting up didn't go so bad, since I already had some familiarity with the cameras and equipment from the taster at the end of last year. I was tentative on camera since it was a big deal, however a couple of takes in I started to get more confident and began to experiment with shots.
Cauldronated (Eva Menon and Dave Barbarossa) played quite simple yet interesting music which made for a great first shoot. There was room to experiment, and although I haven't seen the final edits, I think that the end result probably looks great.
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures because I was so focused on not messing up! I've now started to get into the habit of taking some each shoot though, so yay more content!
