Today was a stressful and memorable day because we took a day off school to go up London and film our second part of the video. The day was planned a week ago therefore we had set times to meet in order to complete the filming. For example we planned that everybody should meet in London for 9 o'clock. Once we got to London we went Buckingham Palace to ask permission to film in front of the palace as we wanted to show creativeness. However we wasn't able to get permission from the Police because they simply thought it wasn't safe for us or the royal family in terms of media and suspension. Although we didn't get permission we still went ahead with our plan and filmed at Buckingham Palace.
After spending an hour and so at Buckingham Palace filming and taking pictures when then decided to move on to a different location. Whilst walking away from Buckingham Palace one of our crew member's managed to find a park that was perfect for our next scene. St. James Park was the location we found therefore we used it as one of our romantic scene with the main boy and girl, to express their feelings for each other. Shooting at St. James Park was difficult because the acting had to be perfect as we didn't want the audience to recognize any fault in the video. Therefore it took us a couple of times to get the correct shot because the chemistry between the main girl (Michelle) and boy (Jason) had to be created exactly right. However spending an hour planning and filming did us a whole load of good because we believe it was our best filming as we managed to fit in many shots. For example tracking, mid, long, close and zooms we were used significantly to create an exciting music video.
The last part of our filming in London was on the bridge by the London Eye. Filming next to the London Eye was beautiful because its a tourist attraction that means a lot to us the British Public. Consequently we thought that it would be great to include it in our video. Though filming on the bridge was difficult because there was so many people either touring around or going work therefore we couldn't get enough time to film as they would just walk past the camera when recording. So that was very frustrating for us as we would have to wait for people to walk pass, but there were time where people walked past the film whilst recording. As result it ruined the filming, however we did manage to film a few minutes without being interrupted. In those few minutes we managed to squeeze in the dancing of the group.
On the whole again am proud of the group because we completed another stage of our task which is proving to us that we will achieve the best grade possible. :)
