PRODUCTION: DAY 4 OF FILMING

On the 4th day of filming we filmed in 'Portobello road' as our last location. We arranged to meet up at 9 in Ladbroke Grove station for Portobello road.  We made the decision to meet up early as Portobello road can get very busy and we did not want any disruptions whilst we were filming.When everyone had finally got to the station we had remembered that we forgot to print out photos of the locations beforehand to film some of our scenes. This initially was a setback - fortunately there was a internet cafe around the corner so we quickly went there and printed our pictures we needed.




We then continued on to film our first scene, which was Alia- The artist to sing infront of a wall covered in artwork. We believed that it would really complement our  music video as the wall was covered with albums and records. 














We especially like this scene because of this element. Even though we filmed early to avoid any disruptions however the odd people did walk past here and there.

We successfully filmed our chosen scenes however unfortunately in the midst if filming Eda stepped in a pile of dog waste. It was actually the most entertaining thing that happened the whole day- well not for Eda! :p


** the most important lesson we have learnt - TO ALWAYS LOOK WHERE WE ARE WALKING!

We eventually 'got over' this unfortunate event, then carried on to film the rest of the scenes. The next scene involved in Alia sitting outside a cafe near another decorated her wall. I remember we were ecstatic because the sunflower painting matched Alias top, which we thought was a really effective addition. for some reason the colour on the camera was a bit weird and Alia just looked extremely pale however when it comes to editing we'll just adjust the lighting and colour to fix this.

We could not carry on filming after this as it started to rain. Luckily, Alia lives nearby because we popped into hers while the rain calmed down. Also as we only had 27 minutes of footage everything we had filmed we transferred to her computer. Eventually the rain did calm down so we went to carry on filiming.

The next scene which we had filmed across the road and was Alia against a wall under the bridge.
We managed to film a few clips, however it started to rain again, but heavily this time. This was meant to be the LAST day of FILMING. But as the rain was quite heavy, we needed to consider the equipment so we rescheduled to film on another day.
