Filming short shots

Throughout the week we have been filming the shots that go inbetween the performance. First of all we filmed me for the shot of the megaphone using the same lighting and positioning as we did for Jasmine's 'Gimme, Gimme' shot so that it all connects and flows. This only took four trys to get lip syncing in time as we played the lyric of 'won't listen pretty mama, won't you hear my plea, got me on my knees' until it was right, out of this we got two useable shots.
After this we filmed the shot for 'your older brother said we're way too loud' using Chris, another group member, again using the same lighting and positioning. We also played the part of the song and got two useable shots.
Two days after these shots we filmed a friend being a neighbour and a teacher being a policeman for the 'might be your neighbour or the crooked 5-0' lyric. We used a policeman's hat from the drama studio and gave Mr Fletcher a long black coat and a shirt and tie, this made him look like a policeman from the original era of punk. For the neighbour we found a long green coat, a hat and a stick so that he looked like an angry old man.
We then went to Bishop's Stortford to film another friend running down the highstreet for the 'now they're runnin after me, like the right hand of the law' lyric. To get this shot, we used a monopod and waited until there were no cars. Olly then ran down the highstreet in front of shop windows as the lights were on, we asked him to look behind him and make it look as though he was being chased.
We will upload these shots on monday and start editing.
