Overall, we had a successful trip, having experiemented with all the shots we planned to, and capturing stills as well as film footage.
However, we did come across several problems throughout the day which we had to overcome. Firstly, we did struggle to fit in all of the locations we had planned to visit as we didn't anticipate how long we would need at each location to fully have a look around and play around with angles and ideas at each location. From this we learnt that for our actual filming day we need to start later and be prepared to stay in London later, as well as knowing that we have no time to play around in the day.
Another problem we faced was the wind as it made it difficult to film with a handicam, which forms the majority of our music video and also the weather was dreary and grey, which gave the wrong mood and atmosphere to what we want for our video. This made us really aware of just how important the weather is and to be prepared for a last minute change of days for our real shoot as well as checking weather forecasts everyday.
Overall, I believe that this recce was the best way to really assess if our ideas would work by visiting the locations we would like to shoot. It was a successful day and we are still extrememly keen to keep the idea we have at the moment.
