As we wanted to in cooperate as much light into our music video, we found a shop in Walthamstow called 'God's Own Junk Yard' which is a warehouse filled with various types of lights. Out of all the locations, this has got to be my favourite location as it is so beautiful. When checking the site if we was allowed to film, we found it cost £700 for the day. This clearly was out of our price range. When we got to the location, we found that we can take photos/footage as long as it was for personal use. So we just filmed the various lights and the artist walking around looking at the different lights. We did not film her singing to the camera just in case there would be any complications with the management.
We then moved on to our second location which was a caged bridge in Leytonstone. Here we was able to film for our base tracks. However, there were several problems with this location. First, as it was above a busy road, it was too loud for the artist to hear the music through the speakers. Second, the lighting was too harsh, as these were fixed lights on the top of the caged bridge we could not do anything about it. And thirdly, as the bridge is next to the station, there were several times were people would get into the shot as they were crossing the bridge trying to get home.
Overall, the 6th day of filming was some what successful. The light shop was very sucessful as the shots we took, we know we will be using in our music video. However, the footage we took on the bridge was not as successful as the lighting really brought the quality of the footage down. It was also very white, and considering our previous locations (pinky, blue, red colours) would stand out too much in the video.
