And action!

Today, we started filming our music video, "Take it all away". We all decided to meet up at Walthamstow; and start there. We made our schedule locations according to the locations and not the story board. We decided to get the flashbacks done first; first in Walthamstow we went to use the photo booth. Unfortunately we started late, so we were behind according to time. We managed to get that scene done, even though it did take up quite a lot of time. I didn't realise until today, that filming a music video could take a lot of time and decision making.

Charlotte and Tyler (our actors) were great! They really got into their characters. I've learnt a lot about time management and team work today. We also went to the local café in Leyton. We managed to get that part done also. Our camera suddenly needed charging, so we then went to Stratford. While having our lunch break, at Stratford we charged the camera. We then went to the West field's bridge to capture Tyler lip syncing. At times, we found it very frustrating as people were aware of the camera but still decided to walk through the shot which delayed our filming. By 5:15 we all decided that it was time to leave and should meet up next Saturday to finish the video. I thought the video wouldn't take as long as it did. I think we were slightly disorganized and that's why we didn't finish the video in one day as planned.

I'm thankful that Charlotte and Tyler agreed to work with us in creating our music video. It was a great experience but honestly brought me stress too. :') I look forward to next Saturday.
