Journal - Production in London Day 1


We began shooting the London part of our music video today. We brought our props, storyboards and camera and tripod. We knew that we definitely wanted to get the arcade shots done today and we wanted to at least get all of the inside shots done, which included a photo booth opportunity and a train station shot. It took us all day to do as much as we could, from 9am to 5pm and unfortunately we were unable to get all of the London shots in one day due to weather conditions. However, we were able to complete our goal and get all of the inside shots done. Overall, these did seem like the harder shots to get as we ran the risk of being kicked out of the arcade and that the shots wouldn't look good, and we would then have to think of a different idea. I think that our clips look really good but we are still yet to put them to music and edit them down on Final Cut Pro, so we may have to change them if the pacing isn't right.

This is the shot we got at the train station of the group getting on the train. 

And this is the photo booth shot which we used more of than we originally thought because it looked so good.

All of the following shots are from inside the arcade. We made sure to get a variety of different shots and angles on all different kinds of arcade games etc. I think that this makes our artist and group of friends look really youthful and as if they are having fun, which is a key element for our music video.





However, due to weather conditions we were unable to complete the London shooting in one day as we wanted a lot of establishing shots of London and also some shots of our artist singing outside. We plan to do the second day of shooting as soon as possible.
