Shooting Obstacles and how to overcome them

Our previous research and constant research as to the locations at which we are going to film our music video cause various obstacles. Some of the obstacles are listed below along with some ideas how we can overcome them.

1. As our locations are in London we must make sure that our locations which we want to film at are not obstructed, this is very difficult to judge as at different times of the day a location could become densely populated. Therefore to overcome this we must make sure that we get the correct footage and check before we leave an area. Filming in London is also quite far away as we would have to get the train and tube to specific locations. To make sure that we don't waste our time by charging the camera whilst we are there or forgetting equipment we will carry out a detailed shooting schedule as well as a props list to ensure that we do not make the mistake of having a low charge camera. By creating a props list it will ensure that we will be able to film the correct amount of footage on one day. 

2. Jake Wynne an editor who gave us a talk about the music video industry as an expert opinion. He asked us about our location and said that it will take some time to find the perfect location as it is busy and it is hard to get camera angles. Therefore whilst we are there we need to be relatively quick when filming and find the right times. Connor however has experienced the location in first hand at a place which he believes to be a good place to film and there is a little street which is not as busy as hake expected. Although to make sure we get the shots we want we will re watch them and make sure that are right before moving position as the footage may not be right the first time.

3. We must try to follow our annotated lyrics and storyboard as much as we can otherwise if we deviate onto anthor path our ideas could change dramatically and we could shoot footage at which may not be as effective as planned. To make sure we follow this we will take our storyboard with us on our shoot.
