Journal #6 // first shooting

We decided to utilise our free time, and begin to shoot our music video. We wanted to get the hardest part out of the way, which is filming up London, so we can focus our attention on other tasks and not worry about it any longer. Before we set off, we made sure we had our storyboarding sheets, all the necessary equipment and costumes as we don't want to have to re-shoot anything that involves going up London. We also had to make sure we knew which locations we had to go, and make sure it would be okay to film there.

We managed to film everything we needed to get, which is a success. On the other hand, we did experience some difficulties. We wanted a location with people around so we can get some reactions for out video, yet at times, since it is London, it became too busy and we had to wait for the crowd to go down otherwise they would walk in front of the camera and ruin the shot. After a while people did notice what was going on and avoided doing so. A good thing to come out of the busy crowds was that it gave us more reactions to film for our music videos, with some people even recording Kate dancing in the rabbit head, which we felt would be very good for a music video. We wanted to have real reactions from a genuine public, and did get permission from the shots we did film to use in our music video. We were very careful with the shots we did take, doing them multiple times as we really don't want to trek back to London for re-shoots.

Here are some exclusive music video shots from the day:
