Filming - Day 2

We went back to kings cross to film Umar’s scenes of him travelling on the tube. Here is a list of the shots we filmed that day:

- Establishing shot of Kings cross - We wanted this shot that would appear at the beginning of our video. The song has a long instrumental solo before the artist starts singing and we planned to fill this bit with shots of location and some shots of our artist.

- Tracking shot of Umar walking into the station - We needed to make it clear that he was on a journey so we filmed him walking into a station rather than having him start on the tube.

- Worms eye view of his feet - Filming his feet provides emphasis on the fact that he is on a journey and this is another way for us to use different shot types.

- Him tapping into the tube station - This shot was tricky to film because we had to get the camera angle and timing right but we managed to film it in one shot which meant we was able to continue our journey quickly to get more shots done.

- Tracking shot on the escalators 

- Close up of his feet stepping off the escalators

- Close up of his hand - We shot multiple takes of Umar stepping off the escalators so that we had a variety of different clips to choose from and we could edit between them to shot different angles of the same action.

- The tube - we shot the tube because we planned to slow the clip down as one of our forms of editing. 

- Stepping onto and off the tube

Filming went well this day as we got the majority of his shots done early so we went to Waterloo to explore the area. We attempted to shoot some more shots of Umar's journey, unfortunately we did not have lighting that day  therefore the lips were too dark for us to use. We decided to explore the area to see where we should film when we came back another day to film a couple more base tracks.

- What went well: We manage to shoot the majority of Umar's scenes and we visited our other location.

- Improvements: We should have visited Millennium bridge and take some shots of the location.
