Final day of filming complete!

Today we finished off the rest of the filming of the music video. It was a day where the British weather really played about continuously changing from sun to rain which at times did prevent us from filming. We started off the day at Greenwich Pier and started off well filming the scene that we needed to. The scenary was as perfect as I remembered from when we visited it on the day we did our recce. After filming finished at Greenwich we made our way to Douglas Path to film the next scene and the location that we needed to film at was isolated and therefore there were no disturbance when filming and we were well on time with the production schedule. We then moved to Millwall park where we needed to film various shots and this was when it started to rain and effect our filming. We decided to get the shots under the bridge done first as it was dry under the bridge and we could film this easily. On our storyboard some of the shots show the actor and actress on the grass messing about but as the grass was wet and we did not want the clothes of our actor and actress to get wet and dirty we had to improvise. We decided that we should do a point of view shot from the male lead and create a home video style recording where the male lead is holding the camera and recording himself and the actress. This proved to work fantastically well as it now gave our music video a new edge and also a different kind of camera shot that we did not intial intend upon but was great as we now added a different element to the music video. We then moved onto the bench scene and again the rain started to slowly pour down but we decided to be persistent and get the scene shot and we managed to do this quickly as possible before the rain got any worse. We then carried on to our last location which was West India Quays and here we filmed the ending sequence which was a lip syching scene on the green bridge and where the main actor burns the photo of the two main characters in the film and walks away. We had trouble lightening up the lighter to burn the photos intially due to the cold weather and so we decided that the main lead should burn part of the photo and then he decides that he can't go through with it and chucks the photo on the floor and walks away. This proved to be easier and worked well. The day was eventful and challenging but we managed to complete the filming of our music video so we as a group were happy. We now move onto post production, editing our music video.
