First Filming With Glenn

We traveled to London on the 19th of January with our new character Glenn to begin filming for our music video. We could only leave to film at 2pm so our time was limited whilst in the city, this meant we could only get a selection of shots completed on this day. However we recorded Glen in several locations performing the whole song, this means that when we begin to edit the song we can select certain parts of the song to fit our plan.

Jay

This was the first location of shooting, it was by London Bridge Rail Station and the idea was for Glen to sing the song whilst looking out over the River Thames. This image shows Jay filming this shot, which required using the tripod to keep the camera steady.

Me

This image shows me filming Glen walking over Tower Bridge, this shot wasn't actually planned but as we was walking over it we thought it could prove to be an effective tracking shot. For this shot I held the camera and we had Glen walking towards me, I had to have a steady paced walk for filming this shot as we didn't want the shot to be moving vigorously.

Matt

Here is Matt filming Glen playing the guitar and singing the song, this tunnel will be used through-out our video so making sure these shots were shot well is vital. This image is showing where in our video we want a slow movement from Glen's feet to his upper body. We also used the tripod to film this shot which came out more effective than filming it free hand, as the movement was much smoother.


We also wanted to share the responsibility of filming so that the workload was evenly split and so we all were comfortable using the camera. We all wanted to be able to use the camera so that in case anyone couldn't attend filming days we had a back up camera operator.
