Filming - Monday 14th November

We planned to re-film many of the skateboarding shots that we previously had because we felt that they didn't fit the narrative. The shots we had were too unstructured and we had planned to film more shots to fill in some gaps we had, and give more structure to this section. We also felt that it was necessary because the weather in the previous skateboarding shots didn't fit with the wather in the rest of the sequences. For example the shots in the woods were a lot darker, and the skateboarding shots were extremely sunny. Therefore we had to re-film in order to make this scene fit.
However, we encountered a few problems on this day of filming. Other members of the group could not make it to film, and that left just two members of the group available, we went to Dartford anyway to see what we could get done. When we arrived the skate-park was desserted, meaning it would be hard to film any shots that would fit with the previous footage, as well as this, the poeple that we thought would come and skate for us had other commitments and then couldn't come. Therefore we thought it unlikely that we could get any of the footage that we wanted.
To overcome this problem we decided to film as much footage as we could in a childrens play park. We thouht of some ideas and how it oculd fit the previous narrative, we have now decided to use this play park footage instead of the skatepark because as a group we felt this would fit in much easier and it gives the whole video a lot more structure. We now have all the footage we need and we will continue editing to get the finished music video.
