Filming and production photos

When we was filming our music video we was lucky enough to be able to use a music recording studio. In this studio there was a number of pieces of equipment we could use. These included decks and a microphone. Casey used the microphone to lip sync the song and we did this from a number of different angles. We also did the production of the music video on the decks, where we have pictures of Nathan Kent getting used to the different features of the studio.

Filming

On the 4th of January was the last day of the christmas holidays, and me and my group decided to go up London to film around the area of Waterloo. We went to a number of destinations and setting such as the bridge going over the river thames, the london eye, the houses of parliament and big ben. We also went into a local park to film Casey lip syncing the whole song which gives us more options for editing when we are filming. When we was filming we stood on the bridge with the traffic and the london eye in the background, we filmed this for around 10 minutes. When we then uploaded the footage onto Imovie which is the editing programme we are using, we sped up the pace so the traffic was moving very quick and the london eye was turning which will look good and give a good effect. However when we was up London there it was lunchtime and it was the christmas holidays so there was lots of people which made it hard for us to film exactly what we wanted as people kept walking infront of the camera which meant Casey couldnt lip sync excactly how we planned, so we had to change our ideas. On the 14th of January we had some time during our media lessons to film some more. As the weather was not very good and there was a lot of rain we decided to go to my house to film. We filmed a number of things such as All 3 of our group members chilling and talking together sitting on the sofer which could work well. We also did some footage of Casey who is our main performer drinking beer and doing some shots which matches the lirics of "i was out getting plastered". Casey was then filmed laying on the bed in the bedroom texting his girlfriend saying he is sorry and that he loves her, which relates to the song.

When we was filming out footage for our music video we took a number of pictures. These pictures were for our CD digipack and to show different locations and settings of where we were filming and different places we visited in london city. We took various images of the london eye, big ben and random other locations which suit our grime genre. We also took pictures on our camera by using the timer, however the still images from the digital video camera did not have a very high resolution which meant the quality was not as good as we wanted to. This mean we will have to take pictures again on a digital video camera. We used the timer to take a photo of the three of us in the grime band in a tunnel in the middle of london which suited our genre of grime.
