We have now begun the principal photography for our music video, after completing the exteremely difficult task of finding both an actor and a location. Hopefully in will be possible to get the bulk of our filming done it one hit, considering that the video is confined to mostly this location. We were also constrained by time as we filmed the piece during darkness in order to achieve the appropriate dim lighting. These are some of the images that I took whilst filming. These give an insight into the location and how we prepared it in order for the video to match the ideas that we had. The floor suggests the amount of rubbish that we used to create a dirty looking effect; which was crucial in suggesting our characters state. Here our direct influence from Pink Floyd's feature length music video The Wall can also be seen through the placing of a chair central to the room for our protagonist to sit, surrounded by various props to throw and destroy during the anger sequence. Unfortunately we were unable to find an old TV due to Saffron Walden dump not allowing the removal of electrical appliances from the site, this would have added to the image, however, it was not completely necessary. The last image also shows how we used lighting to give the piece a drearier feel, rather than using the main light for the room.
