Drum Kit

With Ben being the only person who would play the drums in the video we needed a kit for filming. This proved difficult as Ben could not move his own kit and the borrowed kit came with strict rules. We could not:

• Take it outside
• Take it off school property
• Have it past 5.00pm

This meant that we could not use our desired location (Battery Point, Portishead) as it was off school property as well as outside. This meant that we had to come up with an alternative.

We decided to shoot the band on green screen. This would allow us to learn a new (unexpected) skill as well as possibly do something interesting in post-production. We borrowed a green screen with lights and shot the band with the borrowed drum kit over one night.

As we could not get hold of a full size green screen it made it difficult to film the band without getting the background in shot; it was a tight squeeze! But it was all possible and brilliant.
