First filming session

Date: 29/10/15 
Location: Stratford Westfield https://goo.gl/maps/RNQFswd454S2
Stratford Olympic Park https://goo.gl/maps/3Gxc2dLwDW62

For our filming session the outcomes we wanted to achieve was:
get enough establish shots of the area 
film and complete both date scenes (main artist with the 'bae' and featured artist with the 'bae)
The plan was to all meet up both artists, the bae we decided that it will be easier to get the shots of the bae dating both artists on different occasions out the way so then we can focus on doing the base tracks. We would all  head over to stratford where we would get one of the artists with the bae to act like they're on a date that included having shots of them in the Olympic park area and then heading over into Westfield to the restaurants where we would get shots of them on a dinner date. After completing that we planned to go over to Leicester Square  where we would get the main artist with the 'bae' on a separate date and have shots of them in the area and also head over to tower bridge to get establishing shots of that area. 

Actual turn out: For the ancillary work originally we wanted to use the green screen in college but since our artists are not from the college we had to do the ancillary work outdoors. In terms of filming we met up late which meant we couldn't go to Leicester square afterwards because it would be too late by then so we had to get both couple shots done within stratford olympic park and Westfield. What we did was have our main artist with the 'bae' walking through stratford olympic park and 'chilling' and then we had our featured artist with the 'bae' in TGI Fridays Westfield on their dinner date. A few things that bothered us for example the weather, it was rainy and this was one of our hazards but we came equip by having an umbrella. Also after an hour of filming the security on site of the olympic village stopped us from filming because we didn't have permission, which we were not aware that we needed and so this prevented us from completing all the shots we needed for that area. After reviewing our footage another thing that bothered us was that the camera filters were turned on which ruined the quality and lighting of our footage. 

What we'll do next time: Next time we'll ensure that our organisation skills are better and that way we can meet up earlier and get more things more. Since we met up late this led to us having to change our original locations meeting up earlier next time will prevent this. Another thing we'll do next time is ensure that if we need permission to film at certain locations we'll sort that out before hand so that our filming sessions don't get cut short.
