We chose to start shooting on a Tuesday as all three of us in our group have a media lesson in the morning and are free for the rest of the day, as well as this our friend Emma who we'd asked to be in our video was free too meaning that we had a whole day to film. We were really lucky to choose this day as it was really sunny outside which worked well for the style of our song but also provided good lighting for us and enabled us to easily work outside.
We started off by choosing an outfit for each scene we were going to film, picking mainly casual clothes for the majority of the scenes and a more dressy outfit for just one of the performance shots. We felt that this reflected our target audience as they are quite a young age and would tend dress in more casual clothes than the outfits that are mainly seen in similar music videos.
We started off in the morning by filming all the shots we need indoors, for example, in the bedroom mirror and on the bed. then around midday when it was slightly warmer, we filmed our outdoor shots like where the two girls are sat on the bench and when the main character was sat on the wall outside. We had to move the camera into different positions to make sure we had a good amount of lighting but without having shadows over Emma's face as it would affect the quality of our filming. We mainly filmed our shots using the whole song, but there were a few shots where we just filmed random parts without music so we could use them between different performance shots throughout the video.
We were quite lucky when filming outside as the street which Emma's house is on was relatively quiet, especially seeing as we chose to film during the day when most people are at work or school.
