Date: 21st
October
Location:
London
Shots: Video
Montage shots e.g. Street signs, tube station, Streets, London Bridge, London
eye, shots of walking the streets of London.
Equipment needed:
Camera and Tripod
Health and Safety concerns:
not too close to the tube tracks, careful when filming on the city
streets due to cars.
The scenes I filmed in London were a variety of shots. I filmed shots of the main character (Jess) walking down the streets of London and looking over the famous London Bridge in order to create another location in the music video and that location being a place she would like to be as opposed to back in her boyfriend’s bedroom watching him play games. Whilst there I also filmed various shots of London’s attractions to put in my music video to create a small montage of various background shots. The weather did make it hard to film as it was raining and overcast making the sky look grey, where as I wanted it to look bright and only a bit dismal in the music video so I edited the brightness of the shots to suit the video. I filmed a mixture of shots; wide shots were used when the main character (Jess) was walking down the street as well as zoom in and out's on her walking the streets. I used a low angle shot when shooting big Ben so I was able to scale the building bottom to top. London was very busy and crowded which meant some shots do have people in them meaning I will have to try and cut them out when editing the footage. I felt the London scenes are important to the music video as it will help portray a location where the girl wishes to be as opposed to back in the messy bedroom. The costume she wore involved fairly normal clothes making her blend in with others around her. However, her jumpsuit is quite formal implying that even though she is in a city with many people she still feels special as opposed to nothing to her boyfriend.
Filming different locations in London enabled me to edit them into many of the scenes. The image to the left is a still shot from the music video where a garden scene is overlaid on a tube shot. I edited many scenes of London into the music video as it helped create another dream-like location the girl would like to go to as opposed to being stuck watching her boyfriend paying video games.
