17th September filming

For this shoot, we placed the filming in an abandoned house, for which we got permission from the owner to do so. We needed to organise band members who could play their instruments and learn the song in a small amount of time. For this we got Matt Green to play drums, Richie Screen to play bass, Liam Chadwick to play guitar, and myself Sam Austin on guitar and singing. We decided to get 3 shots of each person and 3 shots of the whole band playing the whole chorus and break so we could pick and choose which shots we want for each art of the song. We filmed each individual band member in different rooms to give them each their own personas and to make sure the audience concentrates on their passion and skill.

One of the problems we faced is the fact that it got dark fairly quickly but we managed to make all the shots look the same by editing, changing the contrast, brightness, levels and saturation to different amounts according to the brightness.

Another problem we faced is we got some equipment in a few of our shots, such as electricity wires or the speakers that we used, so those shots we had to reshoot, otherwise it wouldn't look professional.

A final problem we faced is the fact the person we were going to have singing for us bailed out on the group, so myself (Sam) had to quickly assume the role of the singer which gave me less directorial privileges, so Jack had to make manyof the decisions during shooting.
