Filming #2

                                What we did

Yesterday, me and Danyaal shot our first night shots at our location in Queen Elizabeth Park in Stratford. Sadly Tyrell could not be there to film due to an appointment, however we still took the time of to shoot. The majority of the park was empty apart from a few runners and cyclists. We shot the scenes such as for the first few lines of the chorus and the part before Brandy comes into the video. I, the main actor lip synced and acted for a lot of the scenes from our story board. Shots such as the one where I walk into the camera screen and then sit down, while the camera is panning from right to left, as I sit down the camera continues to pan. Another example of a shot we took was, where I walked out of focus on the bridge full of lights.

Problems

One problem we encountered was that as we started filming, we encountered the park security who made it very clear to us that we would be unable to use the tripod. The security man also told us that we could ask for permission for next time, but he doesn't know who we should ask as the park is privately owned by a massive group of people such as MP's and Arabs. Therefore, we had to record the scenes manually, without a tripod. Since the temperature was really low, the video came out slightly shaky, we did manage to film all of the night scenes but with great difficulty. Therefore we might need to go over a few takes again next time.
