Some of my filming was done yesterday (14th December) as I was in London and had my camera with me so I took the opportunity to film as much as I could. This shoot wasn't exactly planned but I knew roughly the types of shots I wanted to achieve but without the storyboard being with me I was left to be more imaginative about the subjects that I filmed. I was able to get some good shots at Hyde Park as the sun was just about to go down over the lake of the birds taking flight and then later in the evening I was able to capture footage of the buildings in the dark with all their lights on.
Other dates for filming reside within the end of this week (w/c 15th December) which consists of the filming of the performance - I'm now considering only including lip-syncing and not a band performance as although it is part of the whole genre to have band performance featured, I feel the lip-syncing will draw the audience in to have more of a connection to the persons life which is being portrayed. I also feel that the band performance would only aid in the distraction of the meaning of which I wish to convey.
If by any misfortune I don't get the footage I need to create an effective music video, I will have to return to London at some point to get more footage or if it's only the performance and naturalistic shots/representation of alcoholism shots which need re-shooting then I only need to re-organise a time to do that at home or walk to the fields which surround my house.
