We faced camera issues today. As a group we have faced many obstacles and have overcome many. Today problem was that the camera were booked out fully meaning no cameras were left for our group to use.
This meant we had a great deal of problem, this is as we now had one less day to film and we had a lot of filming still to do. After speaking to the media technicians, they told us that the cameras are all taken by students and will be returned on 12/11/12.
Due to cameras being all booked, we had to move to plan b and discussed with our teacher the best possible solution to overcome this. We came to a decision to film after the deadline but early that week as the cameras are going to be returned on Monday. However, we want to ensure we can get as much as filming possible as soon as we lay our hands on any camera.

Filming Day 4
We had a final session of filming. This was just to gather some of our actors and do extra footage for backup reasons.
We wanted to stay well guarded and prepared incase we did not have enough footage or if we did not like each footage.
We also did random shots which we propose to use for effect and to keep the music video intresting. We recorded birds and other views of buildings and skyline types so we could add it to our music video.
We did shots on the way from college as well as in Stratford.

Filming Day 3
We filmed a few shots in college and around college. We did this as we did not take our opportunities to film in our other location (Ilford) which we proposed to do so. All our main actors were in college which was an excelent opportunity. This meant that we could take varies shots and film an argument in different parts of the college. We ensured that we chose locations within the college which seemed believable and seemed like a home or other istitution rather than a college.
We also did a behind the scene footage which we propose to use later on and not within the music video itself.

Filming Day 2
Today we filmed in stratford, E15 and we planned to film in Ilford, IG1.
Our original plan to film in stratford went ahead and we did our opening scenes and filmed the skyscrapers as well as other random shots to use later on for specific effects. We did our opening sequences in Stratford and played around with specific blurs to connote specific messages.
We did not however have all our actors which delayed some of the filming, thus the reason we concentrated on filming the background and surroundings.
We wanted to go to Ilford after these shots to meet up with our other actors at our filming scene, however a few problems came across, the fact the actors had work meant that we could not do the shots with the actors.
Our ilford scene was going to be the argument scene where we shoot the argument between the 2 actors to show in the music video an argument scene which we will sync with our music video.
We went to Stratford and Ilford to film the next stage of the music video. We left straight from lesson and went to our location. I personally found our location in stratford. The fact the weather was great meaning it was very brigh and sunny meant that we could have good shots of the performance as well as the surrounding. . Once we got on to our rooftop, we started preparing the camera and tripod and the actors got themselfs ready as well. Once we were prepared, everyone got into position and we started filming. We done a variety of shots keeping editing in mind at all times. We had to ensure that we knew what kind of editing techniques we propose to use in specific shots. We done our first session of filming in Stratford and had a little break.
We filmed many shots, even if we did not propse to use them in our final creation of the music video. We did this so that we have backup footage incase we dont prefer one shot we could use our extra footage to replace the footage disliked.
After this long and tiring session of filming we all had a lunch break and got something to eat. After this we made our way to our Ilford location. As the stratford scene took longer then expected, we went quite late to our Ilford location and were not allowed to film there at the time as the location was being used for other purposes. This meant our filming was was delayed for another day.

Actor costume
For our main photoshoot we planed for our actors to be dressed with red, black and turquoise.
As a group we purposely kept the stereotypical N Dubz genre. This is to the extent of the actors wearing mainly bright coloured clothing with fazer and Dappy's tracksuits being of same brand and similar look. The colours however differ, our actor playing Fazers role is wearing red and our actor playing Dappys role wearing black. We looked at many of the other original photoshoots, album covers and flyers of N Dubz to gather mental notes on the dress codes and styles of n dubz. We ensured to stick with the typical conventional n dubz look.
