FILMING: Day 2 - Sky Garden

With our tickets in hand we were able to go up to our filming location at the 20 Fenchurch commercial skyscraper. Everything went according to plan and we were able to shoot our video without getting in the way, however we didn't have time to film everything due to the one hour limit. Overall the clips that we gathered were visually appealing and fun to shoot.

Ticket to Sky Garden

Spencer has booked our tickets prior to our day of filming at Sky Garden which will be the 19th of October

FILMING: Day 1 - Leake Street

Our first session at the Leake Street tunnel was successful and we managed to film a lot of the scenes that we planned on doing. We also filmed some additional footage as we had the extra time, which we can use as a backup if we come across any issues as well as use some parts of it for the video.

TEAM PROGRESS - Whatsapp group

Creating a group on Whatsapp, we discussed times and where to meet for filming our first scene for the video; reminding each other on what we plan to do. We also had to set a time on when we were going to collect the equipment as it was booked on Aaron's name.

Emailing for Permission

Mark wrote an email to the track's Artist (Logic) asking if we could use their track in our music video, this is done to avoid any legal issues such as copyright.

Music Video Pitch w/ Feedback

The pitch was delivered well and the ideas that we presented were also well received, the song was thought to be a very good idea and fit for what we are planning to do; including the props, locations and how it would look in general. Backed by our case studies it was said to be planned thoroughly.

However, one of our locations had a concern as if we were able to film there or not. Being Sky Garden, we also had to book online to get in at a specific time which only gave us an hour of filming, if we are authorised to do so. This meant we had to take it into consideration and have a backup location if things don't turn out as planned. 

TEAM PROGRESS - Issue/Research

Gathering up for our daily meeting, we had an issue with one of our members being absent today so we couldn't discuss a lot of the pre-production plan. However we know that Spencer is the main performer as he knows the lyrics of the song fluently.

So instead we researched the locations that we could use for the setting and because we had a scene with a therapist it made sense to use some kind of office in the college. As an alternative we could simply use the studio and some chairs. We'll start to discuss risks with locations and storyboarding the video once he is in class.

Costumes and Props

Deciding on how our main performer will look like, we went with something that fits in the genre without being too elaborate. This would be his casual clothes and for our props, a packet of flower will do for one of our scenes at Leake Street. Additionally, for the intro of the therapy session I will be wearing a button up shirt and blazer as of the usual clothes that a therapist would wear. Apart from this we do not need much more for our video.
