Production: Review of First Day Filming.

I think our first day of filming went very well, everyone had their jobs to do so that no one was wandering. I think filming in Trafalgar Square went surprisingly smoothly, because i had initial feelings that there might be precautions filming it a tourist attraction, but the guards allowed us to film and were nice enough to let us film them.
Banksy Tunnel was a very enjoyable place to film, as the people there were very friendly and even offered to dance in our video. Although because there was people there we had to bare in mind our risk assessment. We also found some really unique and amazing graffiti that we filmed, that added to the spontaneity of our music video.
We were allowed to film on the top deck of the 139 bus on our way to Waterloo  from the permission of the bus driver and the commuters sitting on the top deck as the bus drove over Waterloo bridge which made the scene much better. 

Overall the day was very good, we were able to film a lot due to it being a Sunday, this enabled us to get to locations quicker because there wasn't a lot of traffic. Having people volunteer to appear in our video was very advantageous because it not only gave us a genre signifer (dance sequence)  it  will also target a wider audience for example dancers or people who don't usually listen to pop or alternative music.
