After a busy christmas and fitting around people's outer school commitments we finally found a date and time slot to begin our filming process. Mainly our filming is going to be split into two parts, the filming in Brighton and the filming in Ellis' house. So in the saturday just gone we decided to use our time to conquer the most difficult part of our filming which were the Brighton scenes. Brighton is a fair distance away and is therefore difficult to organise a trip there which is convenient for everyone.
Our first challenge was getting there and so I volunteered myself to drive my team and actors down there. I picked everyone up after work and we headed down the M25 just as the sun went down (perfect timing as we needed the darkness).
Once we found a car parking space we didn't mess around but got straight to it. We started by filming Taylor walking down the dim lit streets of Brighton smoking cigarettes, then we moved onto filming on the pier. We made the most of the bright lights on the pier and the view over the sea. A favorite part of the evening for me was the filming of the text message shot where Taylor really stepped up to the mark in terms of his acting and expressing emotion.
On the journey home we planned when we're going to do the filming at Ellis' house. With the rough cut deadline nearing we decided to do it this weekend so we have all our footage ready to edit and cut together into a music video by the end of next week.
