Our location for these scenes was the top floor of Ankerside car park, we chose this because of the open roof therefore revealing the town in the background creating an effective mise en scene.
We arrived early in the morning to ensure the car park looked empty although there was a few cars that we managed to avoid in the background. Here we ran the dance for each chorus of the song to allow editing to be easy and more fluent. In addition to this we repeated the process but putting the camera at a different angle so editing has more of a variety.
The only problems we had in the car park was the lighting as the sky was very cloudy and bright and so the lighting was intense compared to other locations we filmed at. This will have to be sorted out post production so the lighting flows throughout the video. Another was the wind. As we were on an open top floor the wind was strong, this made our hair blow in our faces causing a problem when it came to lip syncing. However it does look effective as it makes the scenes more dramatic. A final problem was the fact that it was still open to the public. This therefore meant that we could still be interrupted by cars driving in and out of the car park. To overcome this we moved to an empty corner of the car park where there was no painted spaces and therefore cars wouldn't need to go there.
