Filming Update 1

We have filmed a scene at my dad's office where one of our characters, Rachael, is working in a generic office job. This is to be for our first verse of the song and for the transition into the chorus and the flashback. Within this scene, we had Rachael get stressed and tired of her work, which will contrast well with the partying scenes within the flashbacks. We filmed on shot in advance which was a shot of Rachael texting another character, me, to meet up again- this was done as it shows a correct chronological order towards it and adds a strong verisimilitude as it will appear with the same sort of lighting and angles.

Within this scene, we used multiple props such as lamps, pens, paper, laptops, phones, photo frames, coffee mugs, chairs and general office supplies. These follow conventions of office work in general, making it seem as bland as possible. We made sure when filming to use various shots and angles such as close-ups, extreme close-ups, mid-shots, tracking shots, high-angle and arc shot.

After filming in the office, we decided to take some footage of the Quayside in Newcastle. This included a tracking shot of Rachael walking along the millennium bridge, and an establishing shot taken on the the same bridge but looking at the tyne bridge. The tracking shot is sued to introduce Rachael's character as she walks towards work.

Taking turns filming, I filmed multiple close-ups of Rachael at her desk and against a wall, as well as where she enters the scene with the shot focused on the coffee mug. I also filmed the tracking shot of her on the bridge.

This is where most of the filming took place.
