Filming Three:


We filmed the performance part of our video yesterday. At first we realised that the room that all of the equipment was in was too small and would make the performance look cramped. Therefore, we had the idea to film outside. We moved all of the equipment outside, including a drum kit, guitar, bass guitar and microphone and set it all up infront of a fog light as it was dark. The light reflecting on to the band looked really effective as it was like a spotlight on a stage and therefore made it look more realistic. We got close up shots of all of the characters, which included Boris Johnson, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Milliband. We specifically got a close up shot of Boris Johnson drumming as we wanted to use it in the video at the end of the into before the characters come out of Oxford Street station. At times, the lighting did not look right as it made the camera come out of focus but we have cut and edited the footage in order to avoid including this in our video.


It began to rain heavily during our filming and so we had to stop in order to avoid damaging not only the musical equipment, but the filming equipment too. Therefore, we didn't film as much as we hoped we would but we think that we have sufficient footage to include in the video.
