Production: Filming Day 2 - London Eye & The Merry-Go-Round - 28/10/2013

On this day, we were pretty weary about filming due to the "storm" which was taking place, luckily it calmed down by 10 in the morning and we all decided to meet up at 12 near London Eye where we filmed the first of many base-tracks. The costume was the polka dots for both the merry-go-round and London Eye. Yasmin wore a polka dot top that had white dots with a black trousers along with some trainers. We felt the polka dots would go with the background that was mainly had circular shapes such as the London Eye itself and the lights of the merry-go-round.

We had some issues with lighting as in merry-go-round scene, it was too bright whilst for the London Eye scene it became to dark. However we did overcome these small but annoying issues by moving around and doing some test shots for lighting. We decided to change the side of the London we shoot from as we felt it would be better to get the front of the landmark rather than the back which led us on a 10 minute hike to the other side of the river. This is where the issues with lighting came as the trees created shadows whilst the bright background created an unintended silhouette of our artist. However we continued film as we worked out a way to avoid the "silhouette".

Annoyingly, it started it rain again so we were forced to pack up but decided to finish of the base-tracks at these locations, and  we managed to record 8 in total from the merry-go-round scene and London Eye scene
. We then moved onto our next location which was in Trafalgar Square, a new location which
would be appropriate.
