Production: Filming Day 4 - 13/11/2013

This happened to be our last day of filming and the reason it was so late is mainly due to the weather and the lack of free time we had as a group. We did face some issues with location as the cafe/restaurant manager did not contact us regarding filming permissions, so we went to the place again and was told to contact HQ instead. However, as we did not have time to do wait for a reply, we decided to go to the local park near college and film there. This scene was essentially for the opening of our music video and planned to have Yasmin sitting down on a bench. 

Once we arrived at the park, it had benches but we decided to have Yasmin sit down on the tree which was shaped like a tree. This essentially became a good substitute for the cafe as the mise en scene and background were good. The tree also became a good prop and it is a similar scene to the Tate Modern scene but with no leg movement. Also, we decided to film a little walk from Yasmin under the trees and pass the bushes as it gave off a forest-y feel which made it refreshing to look back on as we reviewed the clips. 

 In this scene, Yasmin was wearing a cream dress with black trousers similar to the alleyway scene minus the red scarf. However, she did wear her red lip stick as she did in every other location along with some black heels. The filming itself under an hour and we spent most of lunchtime doing so, altogether we managed to film 4 base-tracks including 2 close ups and 2 mid shots from various angles. We avoided doing any wide or long shots as we felt they would capture the people and cars in the background whilst the closes up and mid shots avoided them.
