Weather Forecast For London Shooting On Sunday

The weather tells us that although it will be cold and cloudy with spots of showers this helps bring an atmosphere to our storyline as it reflects the mood between our main woman and male after the argument (which will be the only scene we are filming outside). 

Change Of Date Of Shooting In London

We had to change the date of shooting to Sunday as the owner of the apartment said it would be easier for him and as well many of our actors have work on the Saturday and said they would prefer sunday as well therefore we have changed the date. Fortunately enough this hasn't severally effected me and molly as we have hired out all the equipment for the weekend.

Characters - Main Male (Boyfriend)

Harry Lees

Me and Molly asked Harry as he is close friends with Chloe therefore they could be comfortable with acting in front of each other. He also fits the characters profile of being quite clean cut however can also pull off the rugged look as he will end up at a gig we believe he could fit both profiles and it is quite important to me and Molly that they look the part so they fit in with the video and the stereo types of a drum and bass music video.

Characters - Male Protagonist (Cheater)

Harry will be used as our cheater within the first couple of scenes in which Chloe is seen to be on a date with.                                                                      

Harry Frostick

I asked Harry Frostick to be one of our main males because he fits the criteria and looks the part which is what me and molly feel is quite important due to the fact that by not looking the part they would therefore not fit in to the 'drum and bass' look and could ruin the whole image we were trying to achieve. 

Harry Frostick

I have asked him to wear a simple polo shirt with jeans and some plimsoles as this would fit nicely with looking neat and casual without looking disgusting or like a druggy.

Sound And Lighting Fixtures.

I asked Harry Stocking and Ed Monk ( students at the school which set up sound and lighting for bands and gigs in the Pit ) if they were able to set up the sound and lighting fixtures for me and molly to be able to film the performance part to our music video. Harry said it should be fine we just need to find out when the Pit is available however it is a bit unfortunate as our school holds gigs throughout the last week of term leading up to christmas however our deadline for all filming to be done is the week before. However we are not asking them to set up all the lighting and only one microphone so hopefully we can get the time and help from people for it to work.

Times, Dates And Trains.

We plan to shoot on the 3rd of December at the London Apartment with the main Female and both Males and maybe if we have time the running scene as we plan to shoot the boyfriend at embankment skatepark running past all the graffiti walls and past the thames river to get good location shots. 

London Underground Map

To get there we will have to get the train to Tottenham Hale and then the underground on the victoria line to green park then to hyde park corner on the Piccadilly line which will be a 4 minuet walk to our destination ( London Apartment). This suggests the cheapest option would be an all day travel card. It will cost £14.80 per person for the train to Tottenham Hale, however it will be an extra added £10 therefore we shall try and get a family card for the day to reduce our costs. Hopefully we can get an early train about 9/9.30 do have the most time possibly we can throughout the day. 

Discussion With Partner

Smashed Plate

Today me and my partner had a discussion about what things we would need to include and remember to bring when we are on the way to London to shoot in the apartment and came up with the following...

• cheap plates - as we are planning on smashing on within the argument scene...>
• a hoover to clean up the mess
• cheap mascara and black eyeliner so where chloe cry's her tear will be black.
• all camera equipment. (dolly, tripod, SD card, HD camera and Camera holder)
• all train tickets for everyone.
• keys to the apartment
• All make up and costumes for the characters
• Ready meals to set up for the date to look realistic
• Candles
• a lighter
