Filming With Glenn 2

On Tuesday the 25th of January myself, Jay and Glenn travelled to London to continue with filming. Matt couldn't join us this time due to work commitments, however previous filming sessions meant that either Jay or I were comfortable with using the camera so it was not a major problem. Due to Glenn's work commitments also, we had a limited time up in the city due to the early darkening evenings of Winter, we did however film an effective amount of footage which will be used for the video.

Here is one of many shots we got of Glenn holding the signs which spell out 'What A Life?'. We filmed him holding each sign for a few seconds each in various locations, this is so that in the video we can show him holding all of them in a continous flow and it will hopefully portray a question to the audience of what they believe life is. This particular shot is Glenn infront of a traditional phonebox, we passed it on the off chance and thought having well-known structures of London in the video will aid in setting the scene of the music video.

Here is a shot of a slow pan of a train pulling out of Waterloo East and into Charing Cross. We did not plan to specifically film this but at the time we thought it could play a vital part in showing the different regions of London, as the Houses of Parliament in the background are a famous monument. The only problem we had with this shot is that the day was coming to an end, and the overcast weather caused the shot to be rather dark, however if we need to we can re-film this at a later date.  

This shot is an under-cranked shot of the busy streets in Westminster. We thought filming this for a few minutes and speeding the footage up may look effective as the vehicle lights will be passing by showing the amount of people traveling through London. However the time of day was against us again, as the lighting is dark and would not follow the continuity of the song as it is based in day-light. This shot could be used near the end, if we decide to have the end of the song at the end of a day for our character.
