Filming on Friday and Saturday

Here are some images that were taken on the days shooting. The last few images were taken on the Saturday at the weekend; these are images taken from the narrative section of the video. The images indicate the characters after they have taken drugs. We decided on the day that it might be best that the characters also took cigerettes, the reason for this stems from the fact that since the boy character initially gives the drugs to the girl, it may have seemed as though he was drugging her on purpose for other intentions, therefore if the girl then gave him cigerettes (as though she is saying thank you) then the boy's intentions do not appear as dark. Overall filming on Saturday went very well, there were a few problems at the beginning, this is namely due to the fact that we did not officially plan specific shots and the location descriptions we knew we had to film could have appealed to any street. We spent a considerable amount of time trying to find a street that we felt would suit the video. Eventually we found one and continued the shoot. The final two images are of the live performance which was filmed at the tennis court at night on Friday, this filming went reasonably well overall. The reason I say "reasonably" is because the ending of the filming was very abrupt, we filmed the whole song from a couple of angles, however we were told by Mr. Lamb (the teacher who we borrowed the instruments from) that the site manager was closing the school down for the night and we needed to leave, therefore filming was cut short. The first few images highlight the equipment we used on the day of filming, the acoustic guitar and base were used during the live performance whilst the speakers were used to play the song whilst we were filming, this would help the performance filming as I could be able to mime the song.
