PRODUCTION: Filming (Day 2: London)

 On our second day of film we too the streets of central London to film our actor. We began filming at around 10:00 after picking up equipment and taking the train to Piccadilly Circus.

Location: Trafalgar Square

These shots were taken by myself outside the National Art Gallery in Trafalgar square, overlooking Nelson's Column. I decided to use this location for close ups, as well as over the shoulder shots, mid-shots in addition to low angle shots to improve the range of shots and angles in our music video. We positioned the actor to stand still and overlook Trafalgar square as it was far more visually interesting to have a blue sky, Nelson's Column and the fountains rather than have him face the Art Gallery building, and it gave the appearance of the character in deep thought.  

Location: Piccadilly Circus

In Piccadilly circus we filmed the electronic billboards on one camera for 10 minutes to be used later in a time lapse. This was useful as it established the location to evidently be in central London. On a second camera we filmed the tracking shots, exploring the city.
