Filming on the half term

Our original plan was to start filming on the 21st of October. However, due to various circumstances we had to start filming at a later date (the 26th - 27th). Our first location was a park in Shoreditch where we recorded performance base tracks in front of a spray painted background. Later on in the day we travelled to a section of London Docks, filming at this location wasn't very successful because we were losing light and we did not have lighting equipment on us at the time. We also found that the location didn't fit with our song or the overall concept of our music video. However we did manage to get a few shots of the setting as we didn't want to leave the location without at least recording one thing.

The next day we travelled down to Namco World in London Bridge to get our casual and fun shots of the two artist playing together. Before we started filming we asked the manager for permission (he said yes) and we then started setting up the camera on the fig rig and recorded multiple close ups and moving shots of myself and Samuel playing games within the arcade. We also managed to record establishing shots of the area that we were in. Later on that day we travelled to the Millennium Bridge. We recorded some establishing shots and pans of the lights and buildings surrounding the bridge however we did not record any successful performance shots planned because the bridge was very busy and people were constantly walking into the shot and blocking the light.

What we plan to do next

• We plan to go to the millennium bridge at a later time in the hopes that it is less busy.
• We aim to film more during and after college hours, especially on the weekends when we have more time because we do not feel as though we have enough footage yet.
