This is a location in whalley range and this is a picture of me filming the last shots of the whole music video which includes asaad jumping onto the wall and walking with lipsyncing. Asaad says "Oh" 4 times here for the end bit of the video where i say "The damage is done so I guess I be leaving" This goes before the bit I lipsync. We filmed at this location as this was like a walk-way which was quiet so we didnt get disturbed by people looking at the camera or lots of people walking past and it helps with the continuity editing so there is no movement in the background. However we did not envisage the difficulties with filming at this place.
We did not imagine that we will get bombarded with complications when filming at this location even though it was very quiet. For example we forgot to take the song with us so we had to lipsync by guessing what words were going to come up next. We had lighting issues as we were filming under a bridge and it was dark and you can see this in the picture even though we used a good camera, so we had to make sure we were near the end of the bridge but also in it, and this on camera did not look right so we had to continuesly take different shots so it looked right. All of these difficulties made us restricted on what we were trying to achieve on the camera so trying different techniques and styles was time consuming.
It was not all difficult even though we were distracted by thinking about lighting and camera issues as this location was looking good in the camera and I pictured this being in the music video and it looked superior to filming on the road or any other location so we stuck with it.

This is a picture i took of the bridge where we filmed although it looks scruffy and the mese en scene does not look right, but we still took the risk to film and see how it looked even though we could of filmed elsewhere and it did not go with the modern theme we are using in the music video. Luckily none of the road surface or the tatty bits of the wall was filmed or came in the video when i was filming.
