Shooting Day 1



This is taken on top of a roof, overlooking Canary Wharf. One of our friends live around the area and gave us permission to film on the roof top of his building. The outfit he's wearing is one of the chosen outfits. The hat, jacket, chain and the watch is usually worn in a typical R&B/Hip-Hop Music Video. Lighting had to be used as there was no lights on top of the roof, so we had to buy a portable torch. It was quite difficult as Imad couldn't see anything with the light shining in his eyes, so he had to close his eyes at times and we had to position the light at and angle so it makes it easier for him to see. We did get a few complaints from being on the roof top because the music was being played through a speaker and it was disturbing the local residents as it was too loud, so we had to play it through our phone speakers, which made it pretty difficult for Imad as he couldn't hear the music and had lost the beat a couple of times but once we had figure out a way of getting the phone closer to Imad without getting it in the shot. I believe things just started to fall in place and the filming just ran smoothly.
