Camera tests are used to check weather a person who may look pretty in real life, looks just as beautiful on camera. Usually it is not a problem but in some cases some people may be perceived differently due to the camera not reading their faces that well. Therefore is it always best to camera test your cast members before you start shooting.
For our camera test we met our lead singer Karis in the studio and put her in front of the camera. We were looking for somebody who suited the part of a pretty girl who looked beautiful yet unique; we were looking with somebody with long brown wavy hair that could potentially be curled more if necessary to give a more bohemian feel. So this is what we were looking for when we put Karis in front of the camera, not only that we were looking for all the regular things to see if her face looked alright on camera.
After we camera tested Karis and realised she worked on screen and also as well as that she would be easy to direct. This is because not only does she have a personality that is easy to get on with she is also in our house so therefore we can liaise with her easily. This is very useful as it is easy for us to keep her up to speed with what’s happening with the video as that way when she turns up to set on the shoot day she won’t be clueless and have to be completely filled in with what’s happening.
