We caught the bus from addenbrookes at 3pm which took us to the Grafton Centre bus stop for 3:20. This was convenient for us as we filmed outside and needed enough time to film using the natural light.
Roles
Max: His role at our filming location was to be the artist. This involved rapping, singing and dancing in front of the camera in a confident way in order to sell his star persona.
Drew: He was the camera guy, taking still shots of the location, costumes and possible shots for our digital pack.
Kisu: Her role was to do the filming and making sure we have enough different shots at each location. It was also her role to make sure the artist (max) looks right for the image we are trying to sell.
Once we were on top of the car park we scouted around for other shots, such as landscape pans etc, and did our safety check, we made sure to notice any hazards which could endanger us, only ones are the obvious, cars and the heigh of the parking lot. We were concerned about permission up there as we arrived there was a guard on top, we made it clear we were filming as we were carrying around the camera, he just gave us the nod to say it was fine and left and we didnt get anymore hassle.
The first shot was a pan across the parking lot from a higer level with our star walking across. This shot is the one where I am going to try the effect on, where after he has stepped some graffiti will appear on the floor behind, I am going to attempt this because it helps sell the star's street/urban side. The inspiration for this is found here
The reason we filmed in a parking lot as it's considered quite urban and streety, plus it had a great view of the city and sky which helped in some shots, we moved around when we filmed to get different perspectives, we also had the star change clothes to make it seem refreshing, alot of music videos also have costume changes.
Overall I don't think we had many problems during the shooting, apart from confidence issues with the rapping.
