Filming Music video No. 2, Part 2.

On Wednesday 6th April I met up with Kieran again to continue filming. As before we met as his house but, this time before leaving to go to the city recorded a short moment of him leaving the house. We were a little more stuck for ideas this time around. I had a re-read though all of my notes and we seemed to have already used most of the ideas. The weather was a bit on and off all day with showers and then sunshine so it was really difficult to predict what we were going to achieve by early afternoon.

We decided to walk towards the city centre but, then ended up walking up towards the old windmill. The area had a small park, and of course the windmill was quite an interesting landmark to feature. We walked around this area for a couple of minutes and later found a rather nice set of stairs with bold black metal railings. We decided to use these for simple shot of us juts walking down them and talking we only did one take with it, but it seemed to look good.

After we had finished with that location we headed off towards the Arboretum. When we got there, the first thing we did was head towards the bell tower with cannons on all four corners. On the way, we found a nice open area which we figured we could use for a later scene of myself playing guitar but, we tried to stay focused on what we wanted to do with this area. We ended up using two different  locations for the camera to sit on the tripod as we climbed up onto the bell tower just to record ourselves having a bit of fun. It was a bit of a mess around really. We were jumping about all over the place. We wandered down to the bridge and I really wanted to include an argument scene. Under the bridge just seemed to be the perfect lighting set for the argument to take place. We recorded several takes on this, in hope that if we mash it up it would give it a greater effect. After that, we were done with the Arboretum for the day. We knew that we would have to come back to adda additional scenes but, that was waiting for another day though, before completely finishing for the day I decided to record the passing of the sun though the clouds. I still need to get some more footage of the sun, as weird as that sounds but overtime I have a day to myself it's cloudy and when I'm at work it stays sunny! How unfair is that!?!
