Test Footage

We knew that we would have to take several takes of the same shots as we would be battling with crowds and dodgy filming. We would have to make sure we got a shot that we could use for our music video before we left the scene. 

In some cases the shots that we wanted we were not able to get, for example, we wanted to film our model standing against a wall then the camera would take a slow pan away from her, then by the time the pan would have finished the model would appear at the other end of it. Despite trying this numerous times the model was not able to get into position quick enough, also although the camera was on a tripod sometimes it jumped when it was being moved which made the shot unusable. 

When we went on location hunting to see if it was a suitable location for our music video we imagined where shots would take place. Some of these became a reality but some didn't, for example, the canal shots did not happen as it was raining, the floor/seats were soaking and the trees were dripping. 

Here is a video of the test footage shot in Camden:
