London Filming

A week ago we went filming in london for the footage we need for the video. We managed to get around 8 minutes of footage to choose from to put in the video. Some of the locations in london included oxford circus, picadilly circus,embankment and St James' Park.

Next 'Stage' of Filming.

Today we have filmed the first part of useful footage, after the wasted session a couple of days ago we went away and planned everything to make sure this filming session would be a success. We had guitars and stage permission ready to use as soon as we arrived in school. 
We had a couple of trial runs to get a performances right. Eventually we managed to get the verses and chorus done so when it comes to editing we have the whole song on the stage we can chose from. 

First Filming Session

Today we went to film the stage scene of our music video. When we got down to it we realised how unprepared we were. We had not planned permission or the use of the stage and had to run around to the music department to ask to borrow some guitars. By the time we had everything we needed it was towards the end of the lesson and we had wasted a valuable filming session. We had to plan to film another day.
