Professional lights were used and caused quite a lot of trouble. Spacing in the tight rooms we had to use caused to be an issue with lighting and manoeuvring the lighting in our movement shots also became an issue. We spent at least half an hour before each shot recording and pausing to see if the light looked natural. (at one point we even tried to use a sheet of foil to reflect the light in the bedroom scene or I balanced off the top of George's sink trying to light Tom from a high angle while he made a sandwich). The use of the light and the time it took paid off. We had brighter more vivid shots which I believe would create a more effective shot rather than a dimly lit dull shot. It was the second time we had used lighting since the preliminary task and it did make an extreme difference, this is why when given the opportunity to use it in our music video we thought it would be the best option.
The camera was a professional HD sony camera which, really gave us the opportunity to excel in our choice of shots playing around with focus and creating different depths of shot. The camera truly came in handy adjusting to lighting and making it seem as realistic as possible which we didn't get from a normal video camera. The attached microphone also meant that editing became a lot easier as we could clearly hear the section of the song that was playing at the time of filming rather than just second guessing what section we were filming. The only two issues we had with using the camera were the weight of the camera when trying to do aerial shots of the bed scene and the change in shot size (it became wider) once we had uploaded it to imovie in order to edit.
