Test Shoot 2 - Joshua Manley 9645 and Kieran Panchal


We decided that it would be highly advantageous for us to carry out a second test shoot. Due to the level of direction that our first shoot gave us we felt it would be necessary to do this for a second time to give our shoot an even more specific outcome. The purpose of the second shoot differed significantly from that of the first. Whilst Test Shoot 1 allowed us to get a feel for the acting and performance aspect of the video, including some technical elements such as slow motion practice, we considered it necessary to carry out a shoot at our location. By doing this, not only could we practise the exact shot types that we plan to film, but also experiment with colour grading knowing that it would be transferrable into our final piece, given that the weather conditions are similar.

This test shoot was very successful, and gave us the opportunity to understand where to improve our camerawork and other technical skills. Experimentation at this shoot also gave us additional ideas that can be used on the day of our final shoot. The colour grading process that we used on the shots that we took was particularly insightful and gave us a stronger idea of the schemes we will use.
