London Night Filming

We went out to film the rest of our music video in central London. Since we previously filmed all of our footage in the daytime, the next step or our developed idea as I could say was filming during the night. The filming took place at a foreshore in Southbank and was later used as the performance shots. The filming was rather successful as we got to record the whole song twice from 4 various angles which contributed to our piece. We were also able to record some rough 360 degrees shots that after editing looked really jumpy but pleasant.  However, we did face some problems; we filmed during the night which meant that the shots were usually under-lit and the quality of the footage was quite poor despite the good angles.  Another problem we faced was the weather; the wind was quite strong and occasional showers caught us which got the camera glass as well as us wet- this was an issue as the artist was supposed to look sharp and neat in his suit. Despite all that I believe that the filming was successful as we not only got the footage we needed but also experimented with the focus ring as well as the low angle
