Production Meetings During the First Week

In our very first production meeting, we all sat around a table and discussed our initial ideas and the genres that we were interested in. We brainstormed ideas that were related to all of our ideas and we quite quickly decided that a song of the dance genre would really fit well with all of our ideas, it's also a very popular genre at the moment, and one which we know a fair amount about. We all really liked the idea of following around a group of friends in a naturalistic environment, possibly following them on their journey through London on a night out.

In later meetings this week we concluded that filming outside in London would be very difficult for several reasons. Firstly, filming in November could potentially be very risky with the weather, and filming the entire thing outside would require dry weather on all of the shoot days. Also, some locations are hard to film in, eg.London Underground, as we would need permission before we filmed down there.

After realising the faults with our initial idea, we decided to take advantage of the studio we have access to in school, and to use this to our advantage and film large sections of the video inside in a controlled environment - a much less risky choice. However, having said this, we are still really keen on filming a powder paint fight outside in the forest.
