The test shoot was a very important part of the planning process as we were able to bring our ideas to life and see how they worked individually and how they worked together to make an effective music video. Here is our test video:
Here is the test shoot schedule that we used, we wrote down the various set ups and shots we needed to get.
A key aspect we were testing out in our test shoot was the various lighting set ups and the projector set up. Testing it before hand is very useful as it meas we can know what will and wont work when making the real video and it will also be much easier when we make the real video.
We also needed to test the handheld camera shots as we thought the aesthetic we could achieve from handheld shots would suit what we were going for.

The test shoot and the rough edit were both very useful as it allowed us to see how our ideas worked together and it highlighted the main issues that we may have faced later. Some of the issues we faced are:
- Projections- we had to ensure we used a good quality projector and image as lower quality videos would flicker when on camera.
- Handheld camera- the closer I got when filming the more prevalent the shadow.
- Lighting- sometimes when we used darker colours for the lighting, the subjects in the video wouldn't be visible.
