Day 6 Filming

RE FILMING
Filming on this day was so unbelieveably freezing cold which made film really hard, one of the reasons was because we were on the Millenium Bridge, and another was because it was pretty late. Regardless we still managed to film, we did come across some problems, when we went to our first re shooting location at Waterloo infront of the London Eye, the security officers told us we weren't allowed to film there anymore, and he gave us a card and said to ring the number and ask for permission, as this area was private property, however because it was late hours we thought this would be pointless and would take up a lot of our filming night.

So we decided to not waste any time filming here, as we headed to Millenium Bridge to re film one of our base tracks located there, we came across a lovely looking area that looked very similar to the area in Waterloo that we weren't allowed to film at, it was under the Millenium Bridge surronded by trees and little lights on the floor, we filmed a base track here of our artist singing, throughout the filming we kept in mind the reason why we were re filming in the first place, which was because our recordings were too stable, so we made sure the camera was moving around Farha a lot. We used various shots, and filmed this base track about 3 times, the first was close up shots of Farha from one angle, the second was a medium shot of Farha singing and the third was a long shot, the reason why we decided to do 3 different shots during one base track was because we wanted to have a variety of shots we could pick from when it came down to editing, this would make our editing easier, and if one of the shots didn't look so well we could pick from one of the others. Better to be safe then sorry!

Our second base track was filmed on the walk way just under the Millenium Bridge in Southbank, we thought this would be a nice idea because the whole city was seen in the background including the Millenium Bridge and St. Pauls Catheral, and because we were filming during the night all the lights were lit up which links with our synergy of lights, as well as to the song lyrics.

Our third base track was filmed on the Millenium Bridge, we filmed close up shots of Farha's face while singing, and medium shots, again so we could have a variety of shots to use in our music video, her performance was amazing considering the circumstances we were under with the cold weather, where from time to time it would start raining. We also made sure to not keep the camera very stable here, and we made sure to get extra batteries in case they ran out during our filmed, we didn't want our shots looking dim again. We also got some speakers from college to make sure Farha could hear the music and sing to the lyircs clearly.
