After putting some of our ideas into practice during our first day of recording we learned that we would have to adapt and alter some of our previous ideas to make them possible and more practical in preparation for the editing stages.
- While in Camden we attempted to film the walking lip sync shot but soon learned that our method of recording other lip-syncing shots (using a phone and playing the song out loud) as the traffic and sounds from the high street were too loud in comparison and I couldn't follow the song. To rectify this I managed to hide a single headphone in one of my ears to ensure I could follow the lyrics whilst moving through the high street.
- We planned to record a performance shot whilst on route to Camden on the train, we soon found this to be quite a far fetched idea as we were among the early morning rush and were unable to even take our instruments out of their cases. We rectified this particular shot by adapting our shot so we would perform at the platform on a bench. Personally i felt this was a nicer overall shot as we had far more space between the three of us, and the overall mise en scene was interesting. The Camden sign above the three of us also added a nice establishing touch.
- The final shot that we struggled with was capturing our river shot in which the three members of the band were supposed to sit with our feet above the river. We discovered that the water was too high, and so we searched for other ways to capture the shot. Eventually we came across a short draw bridge above a waterfall and decided this would look visually appealing and was actually and improvement to our original shot, I and the other members walked across the bridge and sat directly in the middle. The overall result was very pleasing.
