GROUP:Recce Reflection

On saturday all of us went down to London for our first main recce, where we planned to shoot most of our footage for our video. As a whole the day was very successful, we shot all the footage we planned to film there and also got some excellent stills for James's print work.
First we started at Charing Cross train station, where we filmed some band perfomance on the platform. We also filmed quite alot of filler shots for the beginning of our video, for example, we managed to film the train journey in and also the band getting off the train.

Next, we went to Somerset house to do some filming within the house grounds. We originally planned to use the fountains in our video however, the fountains had been covered by an ice rink. Despite this inconvenience we still managed to film some footage within the grounds.
After the location shooting at Somerset house we travelled to Southbank to film the rest of our shots. We filmed shots at the Southbank fountains and in the tree area behind them, the fallen leaves gave the footage a real autumn feel and also gave a coloured look suited the end of the song.

Individually, I spent the day doing camera work and helping direct the different scenes.

  1. Overall the day was a great success, and we feel we have now gained some great footage we can use in our production. The mise-en-scene for our shots are great with some excellent location shots which were ideal for our image of a city boy band style video!
