Filming

Overall I feel filming went quite well. We were slightly unprepared at the beginning as we planned to film on the Sunday 14th of october however a lot of the actors we wanted to be in it couldnt attend, eventually we managed to pull it together and find a male and female to star in the video. We started filming on Sunday evening at about 6pm in cambridge. Our first location was the queen anne car park. We felt this looked effective as the sun was going down and the sky was getting darker, also there is a nice view so we thought it was the best location, we filmed on the very top floor where there was no roof. One problem was that the weather wasnt great, it was cold & a bit rainy so i think that made us all a little less enthusiastic towards the end. We did a few shots up against a white brick wall and then more scenes standing in the distance with a range of long shots, medium shots and close ups. We did come across a few problems for these scenes as the lighting we wanted to use such as tea lights werent working so we had to improvise with the large torches and shine light from the side onto the characters. We then filmed some shots of cars and the surrounding atmosphere on the roads as we found these are common in music videos and are good to use to infill bad footage. Finally we filmed on parcus piece doing action shots of the two characters walking away, meeting each other and then getting together. When we got back to the car we decided just to take a few more shots incase we didnt have enough, so we improvised not using the story board and filmed some scenes on the two characters getting in the car & chatting that we can use at the end of the video to communicate the story line. 
I feel there is maybe more scenes we could have done such as shots inside and more locations in order to make it more professional, furthermore we need more camera movement as its a large convention of music videos in the pop genre, therefore i feel thats what we should focus on when we get a chance to use the cameras after the roughcut deadline on 24th October.
