2. Early start to the day,
got ready and got up
and met the girls at the
bus stop, then we got
going !
3. Whilst in Ilford, we thought
that we would take some nice
location shots to put in our
film just to represent that he if
from these areas. Here are
some of the pictures ..

8. We got one of the
characters to stand
on a brick wall and
we only filmed her
lips moving saying
a few words from
the song.
9. We said that we would include a rooftop location in the music video to give the character a
sense of authority that is above everyone else and as if he owns them. So we found a place
where the character can do it. Instead of the artist being there we got shots of the female
character up in this location. We were really pleased to even found such a location as well.
10. A shot of the
female
character
filming her bit
on this high
leveled
platform.
11. A shot from the roof top. It was
very high up!
13. So we’ve done all the shots we wanted to take in Ilford, now were at the train station on
our way to the ExCel where most of our shots will be held of the actual artist. We also met
with the artist at the train station
14. We needed batteries for the speakers which was used to make the music louder than it
was already is so it makes it easier for the artist to mime his lyrics to the camera.
15. So we finally reached our destination! Luckily there wasn’t a lot of people about which
was an advantage for our music video because we only wanted the artist in the shot. We
didn't want disturbance from other people.
16. Once we got to the place, we instantly started shooting the first bit we wanted
with the artist on the stairs
17. From the bottom, we saw that there was a bridge above us, just further away, and we
thought hat this would be an amazing place to shot from. It was like an alternative to a
rooftop. So we went up the lift and started shooting.
18. Coincidently, when at the
bridge I found this D
engraved onto it. We
thought that it was
perfect because you can
also see the view from
behind. We can
incorporate it into the
music video itself as a 1
second shot.
21. We then got onto the train and started making ways to our next destination which was Piccadilly
Circus. There was a lot of people here, probably because of the fact that it was the weekend, but it
was an advantage because we did in fact want shots of random people in our music video.
22. When at Piccadilly circus, we started filming the last bits of the music video and then called it a
wrap! It was really dark as well, which we wanted because of the lights that came out of shops,
streets, decorations etc.
23. We then called it a wrap and went home! We were really pleased with all the
shots that have filmed and thought we did better than expected. The weather
was perfect, a bit chilly though. But overall it was a very productive and amazing
experience filming a actual music video.
