Filming Day 3

Next stop Oxford Circus.

Okay so on Thursday we went to college at 12:00 to pick up the cameras, then made our way to oxford circus. In Oxford circus we were filming the faces of the strangers on the street to use in our music video. My pitch went like this:

Hi, my name's Jazzine and I filming a music video for media studies at college and can you please be in our video. It will only take like two seconds and you won’t even be able to recognize your face in the video because it will only be in the video for like half a second. (I know it’s a little informal but hey).

The first person I asked said yes! That was very motivating.

However, when we were trying filming him we realized you forgot our memory cards. -_- So we had to go all the way back to college to get them, then come all the way back.

When we finally arrived back we continued, or rather started, filming. We went around asking lots of strangers to be in our video. The whole thing was so uncomfortable; lots of people said no, some people just ignored us, but a few people said yes. J 

When Renee came you did a little more of people faces, and she helped us ask. Then we filmed shots of her, then we done filming of her in Oxford Street.

We succeeded! 

Later in the day when it got dark, we made our way to Chinatown to do some more filming- and I got a free Nandos voucher for a 1/2 chicken J but it didn’t matter because I’m a vegetarian -_-.

Anyway, we filmed some base tracks for Renee, and a few scenery shots, and we were done for the day.

normally and everybody else in in fast motion.

A shot we tried out but didn't really work out - it was way too dark.

You can image how much stares we all got that day
