Shooting Locations

We have a variety of different locations where we are filming the footage for our music video.
The order if which we are filming is not necessarily the order in which it will appear in our final piece.
The first location we used was my living room, here we filmed Alfie (who is playing the main male character) is sitting down looking through old photo albums, remeniscing through photos of him and his ex/girlfriend. We took a lot more footage than we will actually need but we thought that its better to have too much than too little. We used a range of different camera angles, such as close ups and reaction shots.
The next part of our filming took place inside Alfies car, he was filmed driving from Stevenage to Hitchin. In our video this will signify him just trying to clear his head and him having some time alone to think about what is going on in his life. We also filmed him driving into his road from an upstairs bedroom window. This gave us a nice high angle shot. Not all of this footage will be used but we will be able to experiment with it when we are editing.
The next stage of our filming took us to ninesprings park, this is where we film the main female character on a 'rebound date' with another male. (played by myself.) Close up and reaction shots are important here as we need to portray how the girl is feeling. The idea of this rebound date came from listening to the lyrics repeatedly, this is our interpreation of what may be happening. The lyric 'whatever you gotta do' shows that the girl is doing anything she can to try and move on but its not as easy as she hopes it is.
