After the Success of day one of filming our music video we was all excited to film. We filmed these night part's on Friday 4th November. Our first location was going to be angle and that was where we all met up for the shoot. What we wanted to do was film crowds and car's driving by so that later on when it came to editing we can add effect's to them either slow them down or fastened then up or even create some type of time laps. We tried to get shot's of cars and people but they did not turn out well so we deleted them. Then we had an idea of putting the artist in the middle of the pavement and have her stand there while people walked pass her. We was then going to speed it up so she would look like she is standing still while everyone and everything around her was moving. We filmed this for 10 minutes but when we looked back at the shot we discovered that is was way to dark for us to even use the clip in our video. So we kinda got stuck and just talked about what else we could do as we did not want to end the day with no shot's. I told the group we should go to Piccadilly circus in the west end of London. My group were not really up for it as they thought it would be a waste of time, but I told them that we should go as it is a great night location as it is so busy and there are lights and lots of people walking by and it fit what we was going for and plus I said when we was planning for the video that we should shoot some scenes there after a few minutes of talking I managed to persuade them so we left angel and headed for Piccadilly Circus.
The Mis En Scene in Piccadilly Circus was perfect it had everything we wanted it gave us that city vibe that night life and everything was busy and moving. We started filming our artist in an alleyway to be honest with you I did not like the idea of this as I thought the lighting was dark we could just see our artist and I thought it was random. After that I got Stephanie to walk towards the camera in this little island in the middle of the road. I thought the shot look really well as we had cars driven by and we had all the lights from the cars and traffic lights everything fused together in one. And then we had our artist walking down in black so mysterious it was really captivating.
We filmed her doing that for a while after that we got her to do some lip syncing. At first Stephanie was really scared and uncomfortable about lip syncing while the public walked pass her but the group comforted her and told she she can do it and she did really great. We had her stand against a white wall under a construction bridge that everyone was walking by. she lip synced the second verse and It looked really good as she was singing and people where walking by and some where watching her so it looked a sif she was on her own lost and confused and was hopeless worked really well. After we where done with that I took the camera and got random shot's of the location we where in I tried to get people walking pass and cares and buses driven by and the piccadilly light's but to be honest they where really poor because I did not use a tripod so they where all really shaky but I just left them just in case. While doing this Mehdi saw a man dancing in the street, the man had a big crowd surrounding him and watching him danced and the group said I should get him dancing and so I filmed him for a while dancing. It was kinda ironic because he was dancing to dub step and we was there filming for a dub step video.
