Evening before filming London Shots

Tomorrow we go to Embankment + Millennium Bridge to film some narrative shots for our music video. What came to mind just now was a music video i saw a few years ago, couldn't remember the title and artist and first but after searching for it i found it.

Sugababes - About you now



This video focuses on the narrative and performance elements, using two characters during the narrative, who are looking for each other through the streets of london, to meet up, as they know how they feel about each other now. That's why i remember this video so clearly, because it was shot through a few streets of london, which is very relative to our music video during our narrative as the artist and the females lead walk alone across embankment.

Millennium bridge is also a setting for this video which makes it all the more relevant.

This video also takes a lot of shots which are just to fill in the instrumental of the lyrics, such as pans so quickly everything is missed but connotes a rush. I want to create the opposite of this by making everything feel slow and almost painful, to emphasise the feelings of the two characters.

Discussion 1/11/10

We had to re-evaluate which days we are filming on and compress this into two days.
We also decided on which channels/scenes would have separate outfits and how this would effect our work. We done this so that some of these scenes will not have clashes with the front and back covers, to make sure it follows the house style.
This is because we kept the photoshoot in mind. For example, we will be taking a few shots for the front and back cover when we go film on the millenium bridge and embankment.
Along with this we had to annotate the shot list to colour code what is done on what day, and what outfits are needed when.
