How The Filming Went

We filmed the performance part of our video first, spanning 3 days, including the set up and packing away. We filmed the performance in Matt's garage, using a black sheet to cover the door, allowing us to film in a seemingly black room. The sheet wasn't too difficult to set up, and setting up the drum kit & amps was also relatively straightforward. We placed the floodlights behind the amps and the spotlight at the far end of the garage, for the best results in lighting, however at times it was fairly difficult to navigate the camera around the lights while filming without disturbing the footage.
We filmed mainly individual shots first, first of the drummer (Tom) and the bassist (Steven) as Tom wasn't able to perform on the 2nd day and Steven wasn't able to perform on the 3rd day. For the majority of the individual shots, we focused on the instrument and the performer, but made sure if another instrument was visible in the background, that that person was still performing, so the continuity was smooth.
We made sure to film far more than necessary, incase some parts didn't turn out as good when editing, and at times filmed with both cameras from different angles to help even further with continuity. The only other problems we had when filming the performance was the sound; we had to muffle the drums incase of complaints from neighbours.
For the 'narrative' part of the video, i.e. the various shots of London and Kieran singing in London, we had to arrange a day where we were all available to go to London. On the day, we got the train from Peterborough to King's Cross and from there just visited iconic locations throughout London, again taking multiple shots of the same locations, such as Big Ben, Downing Street and the London Eye. Overall this day was far more hectic than the previous 3 filming days, as we had to move very quickly between shooting locations due to our limited time before it got dark. It was also hard filming in some locations because of the congestion caused by pedestrians. The fact that some of the Tube Workers were on strike also made getting around London trickier than it needed to be, but we worked around this.
Overall, our filming went reasonably well, thanks to good planning and storyboarding, just the problems we did encounter was expected lighting issues and general problems with transport.
