Filming Sessions

We managed to film in all our locations. Alexander Park, Kings Cross, Shore ditch , O2 Arena ( Cable Cars)

Overall our filming sessions were successful, we had to focus on making sure we got the correct shots so that we didn't have to re attend those locations again in the future. Even though we tried that technique we still weren't satisfied with all the shots we had. For example In Shore ditch we had to re attend because ideas got changed and we also felt that our shots were not to perfection.

In regards to our mise en scene , our theme was red, but after a while it changed to black and white. They're plain colours which match with any type of edits and background. The times we filmed in 323 using the green screen was very successful. But when editing we didn't end up using those particular shots for example, with the dancing scene... we had a idea of duplicating the dancer and changing the colour of the duplicates to match our "red theme" but when editing it we realised that it didn't fit in with the music video... it would look extremely random hence why we didn't use it.

When we filmed in shoreditch the first time , we got loads of shots for example , Jessica and Tia on the swings in the park with our red tops on , Tia also attempted to lip sync but we felt that Jessica was more confident behind the camera in comparison to Tia. It is important for the artist to look comfortable when performing, an awkward looking performer isn't appealing to the audience. During that filming session we also recorded some running scenes, to show both Jessica and Tia having fun, but when we reviewed the footage it wasn't to our standards.

When filming in Kings Cross it was extremely successful. The shots came out perfect , everyone was motivated and we got so much done. Base tracks from different angles were recorded on that day. We also had appealing scenery- colourful water fountains. The fact that we did a base track in that location made it really effective as there was a lot going on in those specific shots. Its nice to have loads to look at in some shots.

The footage from the cable cars were successful,we filmed a base track of the two girls just having fun, so when it came to editing all we had to do was pick out bits which we felt would fit in greatly.
Also with the gallery we filmed in a smoke room , we received loads of positive feedback about those shots as it was different in comparison to others music videos.
