Filming: Day 1 (15th Jan)

We all came to together as a group for the first day of filming. We ensured the camera was fully charged and had enough memory to avoid any problems. Lateshia (our actress) was informed of what to wear for filming.

We have started to record the music in chronological order therefore the first location was inside. In the music video the girl runs away from her troubled home, we wanted to reflect this through the decor in the house to make it clear to the audience. This meant we had to rearrange the bedroom we decided to film in. We took the duvet off the bed and replaced it with a blanket and one pillow without a case. All ornaments and decorative items were removed to give the impression she’s from a poor background.

After making some changes, and setting up the camera on the tripod we began to film. We gave directions to Lateshia from our storyboard along with improvising some shots. Lighting wasn’t on our side; the bed is situated under the window therefore the natural light was making the camera not focus properly and the room seemed dark. To try and improve the lighting situation we put the main light on along with using the torch feature on our phones – it seemed to work!


The time few by and in the end were only able to film the beginning of the bedroom scene.
