Shooting our music video part 1

We have faced many difficulties and one of them was the fact that we was not allowed to use the theatre on Monday 24th October. I got a call on I believe Friday 21st October from Tom about the fact that we will not be able to come in on Monday to use the theatre as planned because there was going to be no staff. Also we could not use the theatre because something else was going on. He suggested that we use the TV studio instead and that we come in on Tuesday to shoot the stage performance. Although the changes were fine for me and Larisa, after sharing the bad news with the other band members, some of the members were not able to go out on Tuesday to different locations because they had other commitments. 

Jack who is out lead singer said that he was free and we decided that we do the location shoots on Monday instead. However, we could not travel to different locations because he had to go elsewhere with his girlfriend after the shoots. We decided we would go to  Victoria Park as it is similar to Hollow Ponds because it has a lake. This would be the best option as we could have different scenes in different locations of the park. We met up at 12pm next to the statue and started the shoots. The monument was the best place to shoot because it looks very vintage and the close ups we shot of the statues were very disturbing and scary which compliments our genre. Although we thought there would not be a lot of people because of the cold weather, there were quite a lot of people and this is why we did not shoot in the skateboarding area. We shot next to the monument, next to the lake, on the ground and in some area with bricks. I think overall the shoots were okay but what was really good was Jack's acting. He had lots of emotion when lip syncing the song and he was very comfortable. The fact that he put in lots of effort really meant a lot which again made me happy because he is the main singer.
