Shoot Seven


We originally believed that we had finished filming however during editing we realised we did not have enough shots of the band all together. This lead us to go back and shoot again. During this we decided that we wanted to use more camera movements and give the video a lot more character with a lot more going on so that the audience would not become bored. We also realised that we did not film the guitar solo which we was puzzled with how we going to make it look as if charlie could play the guitar even though he had never picked up one before. Then used a dolly to track in as he started to play and decided to cut it up with the rocky scene to speed up the pace of both scenes.

Shoot Six




This is where we filmed the fight scene.  We already knew the location we were going to use before we even started shooting so there was no problem with this. However, we did not like the way the fight scene was made in the storyboard so we decided to improvise on the day. This did not work out as planned and led us not to get what we wanted due to the fact that we had problems with the lighting as we were filming in a tunnel. This lead us to move the camera from under the tunnel however as we started to film outside of the tunnel the sun started to go down leading us to stop filming. During editing however we felt as if we had enough shots to make the fight scene, which we did and which is now the final piece.

Shoot Five



This was the first time we shot us as a band together which was the most difficult thing to shoot due to the fact that none of us knew how to use the instruments or at least make it look as if we could. Not only did we have an issue with the instruments, we also had the problem that every time I hit the drums Harry could not hear the beat of the song and therefore could not sing along with the song. We then decided that I had to pretend that I was hitting the drums, yet make it look as though it was the real thing, which was a difficult task in itself. Furthermore, during this shoot we found a table that had wheels on it so we decided that if we put the camera on top it would make a good dolly, which it did, creating very smooth tracking shots and which, I feel, ended up becoming some of the best shots of the whole music video.
