Prince Regent Call Sheet 2

Day 2 of filming, we have permission for filming  in this location but we are not allowed to use a tripod next to the stairs where the public will be passing. When we are using handheld we can turn on the stabilizer to make our panning less unstable and shaky.

Filming - Day 2

TV Studio

It is lunch time!  

We are about to film with Michael, he does not know the chorus well, He kindly asked me to print out another lyric sheet to familiarise himself with the lyrics on paper. I am back in the Studio and the team tuned into the Vibe squad in the Sound room. The music is blasting out. Michael is comfortable and looking confident about his role. I am not sure where Shaun is? Well I asked the team, they contacted him so he should be here, he is probably in a lesson. 

Now, I need to go now!  


I have to film! 

Location Release For Prince Regent Station

 We are allowed to film at Prince Regent Station with our own cameras if it is not for commercial use  but we are not allowed to use a tripod for safety reasons. 

Filming - Day 1

Prince Regent Station 

London will be chilly in the evening, bring your sweaters and jumpers
gloves, hats, scarf, socks, get rid of the sandles, flip flops and flats!

We were filming the dancers on a tranquille path. To have a practice run on their choreography.

Complications during filming
When we were at Prince Regent Station we were not allowed to film, we had to film near the station.
It was problematic to film from 4:30 pm because this is the time that it began to get dark. Also the weather was extremely cold, so we had to give the dancers their coats to keep warm. While filming there were people walking on this path who were in our frame, so Elma went to the far background in the frame and kindly asked them to walk on their far right. In addition we had problems with the tripod, we wanted to do a smooth tilt without cutting out the the dancer in the frame but we did not know that we could extend the tripod. We asked the technician when we got back to college, it solved the problem.

Prince Regent Call Sheet

Calling both dancers for the Prince Regent filming, we hope to get permission for filming here. 

New Actors & Planning

Today we were able to audition Shaun from the performing arts and he is prepared to lip sync, dance and act, but his timetable is quite tight. I spoke to Michael two weeks ago but he was not certain about the genre but he seemed pleased about the dancing and acting due to not knowing the lyrics well, I printed out the lyric sheet and gave it to him hoping that he makes some time to learn the lyrics.

Recently he contacted  Elma and Marvellous because he was interested to lip sync, dance or act. We will ask if he is allowed out of lesson because his lesson can sometimes run through lunch breaks or if we cannot get him for the canteen shoot, I think that we could do it in the morning during college or after college so that we have less people in the video because besides lunch times can get crowed.  

We have Michael and Shaun, now!
