I went to tom thumbs arch with our actor khalid after college for two hours
I came across many difficulties
as i was the only one from our production group that came to the shoot i had to do the camera work, direct the actor and teach him the song all at the same time.
I found it hard because all the pressure was on me
In addition our actor khalid was ridiculously shy and refused to do any lip syncing if someone was in the tunnel, and it was inevitable that there will be passers by as it was rush hour so i had to force him to do part of the second chorus.
Even though today wasnt very productive i managed to get some cut aways, which will come in handy.

Shooting day 3
Location: Lime house under train arch
Who: Ruzina, Namzin, Olivia and Khalid
What shot: We filmed in an urban street area because when we did our storyboard animation we found that there was allot of gaps so we decided to film Khalid in urban areas singing to fill spaces. We asked audience for ideas about urban locations and we got underground so we decided to film there because it would fit in to our genre.

Shooting Day 2
Location: Canary Wharf
Who: Nazmin,Olivia, Ruzina, Leema and Khalid
What shot: We went to canary Wharf bridge and filmed some parts there of Khalid lip syncing. We then when too jubilee place and filmed Khalid were it was a busy area of him walking and lip syncing. We decided to film near the river because it was a romantic place spot for a couple and it was part of our storyboard. We faced a few problems such as people getting in the way due to us filming in a busy area but we overcame this by having some of the crew block the area we were filming in. We decided to film the whole song in this location because we had problems editing in the past were we needed more footage of a location so we decided that we would do the whole song in every different location so that we would be left with extra footage in case we needed it o fill in blank areas of our music video.

A few pictures from our third day filming
i think the faded graffiti on the wall can symbolise the artist street past and his successful present.

Shooting day 1
Location : Apartment in poplar
Who: Mariam, Olivia and Ruzina and Khalid. Nazmin could not attend do her not having her oyster card with her.
What shot: We shot the beginning of the storyboard. We went to the apartment and shot all the bit of the story board that had the artist in the apartment. The problems we faced when we got thee was that the bed covers weren't the type that wanted so this wasted time while we changed the bed covers. Another problem that we faced was that Khalid our artist felt uncomfortable because he was in all female crew and felt intimidated as was unable to sing but we overcame this problem by singing with him so he felt more comfortable. Overall shooting day went well and we had some good footage to edit.

Filming Trouble
We realising that our story board is very complicated due to the different locations that we have and have found that when editing we are having many problems finding the right part to the song. We have now decided that we need to film the whole song in each location so when we edit we have all right parts of song in the different locations so we can use it when we have any blanks.
