First Day of Filming- Take 2

With Glenn on board we headed up to London to begin our filming adventure, this was a step into the unknown for us but we were hoping to get some good footage to use and learn how hard it is to film in London.

Putting all the strange looks and people thinking they were on tele behind us we started filming, making sure we were referencing our storyboards. We decided to film Glenn performing the whole song in different locations because we wanted to have plenty of footage to play around with when we got back to school.

We planned our journey so we'd get off at London Bridge train station, this meant we could start filming on London bridge itself. Here is a picture of me filming the opening shot, with the help of the tripod I kept the camera still, but found when I started to move round the back of Glenn when filming the camera started to move. This gave me the appreciation of just how hard it was going to be, to move with the camera and keep it still.

 We were walking along Tower Bridge to get to another location, when we thought why not film Glenn performing the whole song on this bridge. Adam filmed a tracking shot with Glenn walking towards the camera whilst singing. This required a steady hand and Adam did a good job at this as we have used quite a lot of this footage for our video.


Here is a shot of Matt holding the camera freehand, this gave a rough image and we decided that the tripod would be the best option as the shot would be steadier.
