The second day of filming was with our main actress, Lauren, who is doing the lip sync and the performance for our 'Crazy in Love' music video. For this part of our filming, Lola and I had managed to hire out the main dance studio in the Rhodes Centre in Bishop's Stortford for an hour and a half. Additional payments obviously had to be made for this. The total of hiring out the dance studio for the time that we had asked for it was; £41.60. Lola and I therefore split the cost, making it more manageable for us to be able to hire out.
During our time filming here, we were able to get all of the dance studio shots done that we wanted to get done. The best thing about this studio at the Rhodes Centre, is that it was really big, meaning that we could get shots without having complications of Lola and I being seen in the mirrors that are placed alongside the whole of the left hand wall in the studio. However, whilst we were filming various long shot shots, a few complications were starting to occur. This is because when having the camera pointing at different angles in the dance studio, we would always get the mirrored image of Lauren dancing, which isn't what we were going for. However, we managed to overcome this by taking mainly medium shots, medium close ups or, close up shots of Lauren dancing her set dance routine to Crazy in Love. One thing in which Lola and I were really impressed with in the dance studio, was that we could change the lighting onto different settings. This therefore enabled us to get the right lighting that we wanted to get in order to create a lyrical mood and atmosphere, since the dance being portrayed through the dance studio is lyrical modern dance.
In my opinion, I feel that Lola and I have managed to have another successful filming time slot. This is because there was only really one main complication however, we managed to get everything done within this location. However, I think we were very driven when taking to footage of these shots. This is because we both knew that it had to get done since we couldn't come back because otherwise, we would have had to pay another lump sum of money in order to film in the dance studio again.
