Day of the music video shoot

View from the Golden Jubilee Bridge in Westminster

Today, we went central London to shoot our music video. We reached at our filming location which was the Golden Jubilee Bridge in Westminster at around 3pm where we managed to get the perfect lighting we wanted which was sunset. Due to sunset some of the difficulties we faced today were that the sun blocked our actors in the camera as a result we had to wait for the sun to move so that we could get accurate and professional shots needed for our video. The bridge also got a lot busy during rush hour which made it harder to film as we had members of the public walk through the scenes whilst we were filming a particular verse. As a result we had to start from the beginning as we wanted to make sure our shots were realistic where tried to follow the convention of using a range of different camera angles and shots.

We finished shooting at 5pm where we managed to get all the shots needed from this location as a result it was good that we decided as a group not to choose Trafalgar square as our second location. This is because we lost daylight and the location was busier compared to the bridge as it’s a big tourist attraction making it harder for us to shoot our video.
