Dates of Shoot

  • Wednesday 14th January- empty unit - Group band shots

  • for this date we will be getting all of the instruments and other miscellanious props into an empty industrialized unit. The props for this dat include; drum kit, guitar, microphone, clothing, amplifiers, lighting and a few other smaler things. The point of this date will be to capture most of the group band shots, the close ups of instruments, and close up shots of the band members. The approximate duration of the session will be around 2 to 3 hours, which enables us to shoot most of the band footage.
  • Lighting needs to be taken into careful consideration when shooting inside. As a group we have decided to use omni and uni-directional lighting as these will create a more performance based feel about the shots. This, along with the natural lighting will create the effect that we want to achieve.


Tuesday 20th January- ASK (Danny and Mark) - Restaurant Romance

  • This crucial session will contain intimate shots of the lead singer and the girl, epitomising the name of the song "before the worst". This will include a romantic, candle lit meal for two, red wine etc... These shots will be used for the flashbacks, therefore will be altered slightly post production, to get the required desaturated shot we are looking to achieve.


Saturday 24th January - Camber Sands - Early Morning

  • Camber sands is the location we have chosen to use as it is a large, open and iconic place. The reason why we are shooting here is solely that it can have many different readings.
  • we will have to shoot this early morning to make the most of the low level natural lighting.
  • Also, shooting in the evening has been taken into careful consideration as the ideas of sunsets tie in with the main theme of the song.

Thursday 22nd January - London - desolate, isolated shots

  • These shots play a vital role in the music video. They consist of the lead singer, along, but with people around signifying the theme of lonlyness and isolation. The hustle and bustle of the city contrasts with the idea of lonliness.
  • Lead singer predominantly just walking around the city looking lost and deep in thought. Few shots of him lip syncing to himself.
  • We will film these shots in the various areas around one of the key London stations i.e. London Bridge. These areas are always busy and this will fit well with what we aim to achieve from the shooting.

These are the main dates for filming the predominantly group based shots, as they require all 3 of us. However we may add days onto this schedule if we all agree on a filming date.

Weather is also an important issue when shooting as it can affect many factors. These being both the technical aspects such as the camera etc... But the wrong weather can create the wrong mood which we may potentially want to convey. So this is taken into careful consideration.
