Test Shoots for the Film Shoot

With it being very difficult to show every short clip than I can for this shoot, I have decided to include print screens of everything that I have done leading up to this shoot.  Here are some images from my test shoots.  I set up the background to a bright white as before and I used my sisters and my test models.  The problem I faced with test shoots is that I would never really get a sense of what The films shoot would look like because neither of my sisters know how to do any pole fitness moves.  The only thing that I could really test was the lighting and camera positioning and camera settings. 

I knew that I wanted to crop close into the body to show closer body movements so knew that the camera had to be centralised to the centre of the pole, this is because most of the moves that can be done on the pole usually start and end around the centre of the pole. I will probably end up shooting some where you see the floor, because obviously all moves start with the dancer on the floor and then climbing the pole to create the moves.  

For my tests I just asked my sisters to moves around the pole, on a spinning pole so that I could see just how each film clip would look.  Once the camera is set up, its actually quite simple to use the filming setting, so therefore it is all about how I set up the lighting for the shoot that makes a difference for the film.  The other thing to consider is the focusing on the model and movements, this is something I tested out throughout these test shoots here. 

Making sure that the background was a bright white was the main thing to make sure with these test shoots.  I wanted to have white really white, but i think there ended up being a light pink tint to the background due to some pink on the walls, this shouldn't be a  problem as it is something that I can take our and change when it comes down to editing. Here shows more images of each test clip that I used, they are all marked in RED, because it is easier to show that they are definitely not being used for the final shoot, so I don't get confused with all of the clips I have done.
