Filming:18th and 19th of January

This weekend we planned to do our filming of London and our powder party scene. We wanted  people to be involved in the shooting so we had to find a way of organizing them. We used a number of technologies to do this such as Facebook and Whatsapp.

Friday night we made a quick decision that we simply had not got enough people for Saturday for it to look good. Therefore, we unfortunately had to cancel and decided that the filming would just include me. Relying on people to turn up on Sunday for the Paint Party.

However, after filming all day and still having little to no response about Sunday we decided to cancel it. We plan to reschedule this to the next weekend, giving us a little more time to get a larger group of people together for a better end product.

Luckily filming on the Saturday went well and we got lots of good footage and pictures that we can use in digipacks. We had a number issues with transport as the Northen line was down, meaning it took longer than expected to travel around. We also had issues with lighting, eventually having to give up on our final location, Camden Town as it got dark really quickly.  

We also had to find areas to change and do re do makeup, this took a lot of hassle and time. 

One of the most annoying things by far was the fact that we arrived at 99 Bishopsgate Street to discover that the Love sign we had hoped to use had been removed. However, there was no warning of this anywhere on the internet, with it claiming to still be around into May. We will try and find out if it has been moved anywhere and see if we can still go and film there. This issue meant we had to go find some extra shots. 

Though we had a few glitches, overall the day was very productive and if we need any pick up shots when we are editing we will be better for our experiences of this trip.

Costume: London

 APPLYING COSTUME CHOICE TO THEORIES.
In London we are going to in keep with the same style that was hinted at the beginning of the music video with the Doc Martens. As demonstrated by Goodwin, star image and the notion is a huge part of a music video. Therefore we want to present our artist in the best way possible, which we have chosen to be quite rebellious but also it is important to note that we are selling the artist to the mainstream market therefore the close must not be to different to that of a normal music video. Also the notion of looking and voyeurism means that we have to show the artist in quite a sexualised way to fit the conventions of a music video.
