Filming notes

Throughout the day we had some good ideas for filming around Cambridge (we forgot  the shot-list but it still flowed well.) We started out near Cafe Nero in town centre;

-Verse shots with Cambridge alleyways

 +stationary and tracking shots

  +high angle camera style shots as an edit backup

-Verse & chorus shots on a connecting alley to accentuate happy feelings and a "poppy" atmosphere

 +good backdrop of terraced houses with one directional light for added effect

We then headed towards the Grand Arcade roof in order to film a sweeping background for the video

-grayscale buildings didn't help

+most of the buildings did, clear sunlight to help with the first half's daylight theme

(No roof pictures available)

Unfortunately the camera wasn't at max battery so we had to stop off at HMV in order to charge it.

Afterwards, Christ's Piece seemed like a good location in order to do a skit involving a cigar for the video, and the singer kicking leaves for dramatic effect.

+very successful multiple camera angles for the money/cigar skit 

 +autumnal worked better than raining for the latter half

Castle Hill nighttime shooting

+dribbly with slight advantage, gave enough of a rainy effect to be used in tandem with the songs themes

+umbrella usage for the video 

+tracking shots with backings of the hill

+nice sunset used as planned for the closing shots of the video

Peter's bedroom shots
+self filming that worked out with tripod usage
+shot of him getting up with multiple shots of day to day waking up scenarios to use for later editing

In summary;
-slightly stiff filming, but, +with multiple angles and locations
+over 100 clips
-over 100 clips
+every latter clip in a scene is usually the better clip, easy enough to sort through
+filming was on time with good coordination
