Well, today was our first day of filming and it was extremely cold but we dealt with it. We were very lucky that we were able to film at Trafalgar Square in front of the fountain. As we went early in the morning they were just setting up the Diwali festival, so it wasn't packed yet, so we were lucky enough to not have a lot of people walking in front of us filming as it can be very time consuming waiting. The shots we got were good but as it was so cold we had to change the outfits, so I still had on a dress as the first outfit but I had tights, boots, leather jacket and scarf as we don't want to risk any of us getting ill.
We filmed on the 139 as the bus driver gave his permission because there were very few passengers but we also asked the couple at the front of the top if they minded, and they said it was OK. It was difficult filming on the bus as it is very bumpy and turning corners can make you fall over, also the camera was shaking a little. What I really liked was we got the view of the Thames as our bus crossed over the bridge, as you could see houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye. I hope these shots worked well as I think it would look really effective as this is a big part of what people think of as London as they are very iconic places.
Banksy Tunnel/Leake Street was amazing because of all the graffiti makes it so urban and its really good. We were also able to see a few of the artists paint which was also good. It was quite hard to hear myself in the tunnel just because there were quite a few people doing photo shoots doing graffiti, or dancing but that might of helped us as no one in our group can sing. In this location we danced a lot as a filler for our music video so that it isn't just me standing there by myself singing, and we were approached by some guys wanting to know if they could dance for us which also added a lot of humor and I think it will work really well.
