Filming

During our filming, we had to overcome several obstacles to ensure we got the most out of our time with the camera. As we filmed in London Bridge for one scene in the evening/night, lighting was a little bit of an issue because our faces wern't seen clearly on the camera. However, we decided to film under a lamp which provided perfect lighting for the shots.

Later, we were confronted by security personell who asked us to get permission from the council to film on sight. As we were on our final shot, it seemed pointless, but he allowed us for a further 5 minutes!

If we were to film again, we would definetly need to gain the required permission to film on that sight. If it were to be during the night, we would bring a light which would fit on top of the camera for extra visibility.

We required the green screen for a majority of our shots in the music video, on our first attempt we thought we did well, only to find a shadow in almost every shot, which would interfere with the green screen, not allowing us to use it properly. We were forced to scrap all filming done and restart, ensuring there was no shadows. We had to modify the lighting for this to take place successfully.
