24th February 2012 - Day 9 of Filming

Today was the first shooting of scenes 9A, 9B and 9C which were the scenes where our Artist Sandhya is walking down the stairs towards the front door and picks up the letter she receives from Zein. We were fully equipped and bought the envelopes needed. Also the camera angles were shot according to the storyboard.


Today we also reshot scenes 11A, 11B and 11C at Wembley Park due to the lighting and due to the weather on 10/02/12 the footage didn’t look like what we were trying to visualise. We also made mistakes in the camera angles and the station was closed that day and the audience watching this could see this therefore we felt we needed to make it more natural therefore decided to reshoot these scenes.

18th February 2012 - Group Meeting

All the group members met up to talk about the footage that we had already taken. We then agreed what we had to reshoot and what we could keep.

15th February 2012 - Day 8 of Filming

Today we shot shots 5A, 6A, 6B, 13A, 13B and 13C. However after looking back at the footage we decided that we missed out some vital elements like our planned graphic match.

11th February 2012 - Day 7 of Filming


We had a productive day today. We shot scenes 7B and 7C (flashback scene). Today we met a group of 3 break dancers who were dancing at the fountains at Wembley Arena. They caught our eye therefore as a group we went to ask if they would mind being in our music video and they agreed.We used the DSLR camera that we had with us to take the pictures for the stop motion effect for our music video.

10th February 2012 - Day 6 of Filming

**Due to having exams, we had to put our media coursework on hold**

Today we were meant to film the scenes where our artist was to walk out of a building and pull out her phone. We did plan to film this sequence at the Premiere Inn hotel in Wembley which was close to our school. However we were not given permission film there. We then moved on to film at Wembley Park station. However we ran in to more problems. Firstly the front of the station did not look appealing due it being closed down because of the snow fall that had occured the night before.  We also printed off some pictures before moving on to film scenes 5A, 7A and 8A. When filming these scenes we found the lighting was poor.

After looking back at the footage we noticed that we did not stick to the camera angles and shot durations that we had planned in the storyboard.
