 Problems we faced while shooting When filming in the gym, even though we were using professional equipment, we had still faced a lot of difficulties when the shots were being taken despite the advantage of having good footage with high quality.  Thought the quality of the footage may have come out to be appealing to my partner and I we had still faced a lot of issues. For example, we had a disadvantage of limited space in the first gym, which did not give us much room for the character to perform the movements that were intended to be performed. If we had better space, we would have gotten a wider range of shots with better angles that could have been put into the final cut of the music video.  In the second gym, it was shot in a gym that was spacious, however, the gym was old, being 15 years old or more. Due to the circumstances of the gyms old age, we were not provided with good enough lighting to allow us to define muscles on the character. This would affect the consi...

 Boxing Trial Shoot #2 This was the second opportunity that I had received to shoot for Boxing, as it was mentioned in the previous blog, the shots were not very appealing to me, however, this time I had made sure that I had worn fitted and more compact clothing to make myself look sharper on camera, and so my figure could get a good proportions in terms of my costume.   This is a shot of me rolling my hand wraps, it is a shot of my preparation. This is a shot that was taken on the camera of hitting the punching bag.

Boxing Trial Shoot #1

Image
  BOXING SHOOT #1 I have been boxing for the last 8 years of my life, and I had 2 opportunities' which was taken by me to film myself punch the boxing bag and test out cameras and the angels taken. Overall the shoot was very fun to do and I had a lot of fun throwing my punches with a lot of force so it could look appealing in the camera when it was being shown. I had noticed that during this shoot my muscle was not being defined properly which is one reason I was not confident with the outcome from the snippets of the shoot that was given to me.  A trial shot my warmup to prepare for the final shot    This is a shot of my final shot on the punching bag

 Role Allocation  Here are our cast and the roles allocated to them This is Mustafa Gaffar, he is a student at the school we study in. He plays the role of the teenager, we thought he would suit the teenager, because of his physique and his over facial aesthetics. This is Anshpreet Singh Sahni , He plays the role of the father who catches the son eating in the car. We thought that he would be the perfect actor to play the father due to his mature look.

Technical Trials

 Here are a few pictures of us testing out the waters, with aspects related to the shot, how the shot looks and how the sound is heard on the mic.  Regarding the technical trials, as per our experience, the technical trials were done on the final shoot itself, this was because we were extremely confident and we trusted the equipment that we had utilized for the shoot of the music video, and to match our expectations, the technical trials had gone smoothly as advanced cameras, and mics were used to capture moments that will be included in the final music video

Location Scouting

Image
This explores the 3 gyms we had scouted for. This Blog shows 3 exhibits and shows the space, lighting and overall vibe of the gym that we are looking for in the music video. Exhibit A  Exhibit A is the most likely and competent gym of all variants, this is because, despite it being less on the size of the gym, it provides us the correct form of lighting which would make it more convenient to define muscles, and since it is a relatively newer gym, it also gives us a more variety of equipment to get better shots and newer movements     Exhibit B Exhibit B shows a combination of good space in terms of the size of the gym, it provides us with ample amount of equipment to get various shots in, however, the only aspect that the gym lacks is the aspect of a dark theme and the availability of good lighting to help us define muscles and get good shots  Exhibit C Exhibit C shows a good combination of colors that could set the vibe of a very gothic, dark themed video, howe...
