During half term, our group decided to film, and so planned to meet up at Stratford station around 10/11 on the 29th October. Unfortunately, Lily wouldn't be able to come until later and so myself, Dan and Heather had to get started without her. Also, the only camera I could use until Lily arrived was my phone camera and so a few of the photos are bad quality.
We got started with the red/pink spray hair dye which I had bought from Sainsburys, as this would be the synergy in the music video, and our artist's signature look. We also walked around Stratford, to get a feel of our filming location. We decided on a few places that we would film in over the next couple of weeks. For example, we filmed on a bus stop, as we felt that the scenery behind was clear and it made for an amazing shot.
A lot of the day was about getting started, and definitely got us in the filming mindset, and we were determined to get most of our shots filmed that day.
Eventually Lily came and we told her about all the shots we had done, and what we had planned and she was very happy about it. We all worked well in a team, and all got to film parts, and also recommended areas. For example, Lily liked the look of some leaves and we got a shot of the leaves. We also wanted an 'Autumn feel' and used that by throwing leaves behind her, which we found funny, but it looks good.
I got to film quite a lot, and my favourite shot that I got was a tracking shot down a path. The camera isn't completely steady but it works, and Heather's performance got better and better throughout the day.
All in all, the first day of filming was very successful, and got a lot of shots we can use.
