Shoot One Evaluation

During our initial visit to the tattoo parlour, Beth and I encountered a few problems that we had not predicted. Forexample, we had not anticipated that the shop's lighting would be quite dim and as it was our first visit, we had not taken additional lights with us and therefore the footage we took whilst there was quite underexposed. We had to turn the ISO up to 1600, meaning that the overall footage was rather grainy. To solve this issue in future, we plan to take our own LED lights with us, using tripods to direct them. This will enable us to use a lower ISO, meaning less noise in the footage and an overall better quality video. 

Another unexpected problem was the fact that the rooms are considerably smaller than we had anticipated. This meant that we struggled to set up the tripods in some spaces, meaning that some of the footage was handheld and therefore quite shaky which is not desirable at all in promotional videos. We plan to reshoot this footage by asking the permission on the tattoo parlour's staff to move around the furniture slightly so that we can put our tripod's in a more stable position. This will mean that the overall set up will be much safer for all involved, and that our footage will be of a higher quality. 


Below are some examples of footage from this shoot, illustrating the fact that it is all quite grainy and shaky.
