For our final day of filming, we went to Southbank Tunnel which is under the Waterloo Bridge. Here we re-filmed some shots of the artist as they were a bit grainy so we could not use them. We also filmed our dancers. This was important as this was one of our main ideas for our music video. We tried to get different angles so we could use various shots. As we also wanted the sparkler to feature in some of the dancing, I held the sparkler while the dancer was dancing behind it. This turned out to be a good shot as the camera focused on the sparkler. We also tried the smoke bombs, we found a little platform for the dancer and placed the smoke bomb in front of him. It did not turn out as we would have wanted as when the smoke bomb was burning it was leaving behind the 'stick-like' shape behind where you could see that it was burning and as we wanted close ups of the dancers feet, this was not the most successful. We also had to cut short because the smoke got too much and it was not the safest choice to carry on filming.
Overall, I would say this was also successful as even though, our first attempt with the smoke bomb did not turn out the best, we tried again and found out that by positioning the camera at a different angle we did not see the rubbish the smoke bomb left behind. We also got some really good shots of the dancers meaning we could use this footage in our music video. Re-filming our artist was also a good idea as we got some better angles of her this time, and used lighting to help reduce the grany-ness of the shot.
