Production- Reflection of what needs to be re-shot

Lately we have been having a lot of issues whilst filming, the inevitable English weather (wind, rain and the coldness) Also, due to our video being shot at night time and in well-known London sites there are a lot of obstacle to avoid, especially the consistent current of commuters on the Millenium Bridge.

Having the Dedo light has also proved to be challenging, however we have also been experiencing the top light and we have found that both have there advantages and disadvantages...

- The top light can be screwed onto the top of the camera, therefore we will have nobody moving in front of the light and causing shadows. However, it has been proven nothing runs smoothly for Group 7... The light makes our footage quite dark and it doesn't look amazing!

- The Dedo lights are fabulously bright enough (from a distance), which is aggravating telling commuters to mind our the way, of course we ask in the nicest way possible! But when the light is close I look like a ghost, being of Irish heritage has become a bit of an encumbrance.

We have sat together and discussed what needs to be re-shot and what we have done so far:
- The Liverpool Street shots for the last verse are well light and can be used for the final verse.
- We still need a well light high angle walking shot in Southbank, to use as a possible jump cut in the instrumental after the chorus of the song.
- There's potential in our Millenium Bridge shots, however we need some panning shots of the city and myself looking out. Also to re shoot our miss shots and close up from various angles.
- We intend to demonstrate speed manipulation in our music video and we have filmed various parts of me singing the speeded up version of the song, so we can incorporate some slow motion.

Overall, I think as a group we need to keep the faith and determination! Fight the cold and get some beautiful shots! Day 7 will be our last chance to film and that will take place tomorrow!
