Julius and I went to Millwall Park/Mudchute Farm again, where we did the performance filming to do two more shots of Julius singing as we thought we needed more close up and long shots of him. The long shot is for the end of the video to show that he's lonely without his girlfriend and we needed more close ups of him singing so the audience can engage more with him and feel his emotions. We also took more pictures for our digipak and advert so we have a range of photos to choose from. Later on we told Agata to come so we can film the train station scene and Julius running. I found it quite fun filming this as it was really funny but it was so awkward because people were looking out of their home windows and at the train station people inside the train were staring at us. We did have some trouble with the train station filming as we needed to wait over seven minutes for each train to go past so we needed to do it right the first time round instead of waiting for each train to go past. Another problem was when I was filming the train going past; you can see my reflection on the window so I had to bend down behind the Metro newspaper stand so I was invisible. It did kind of work as you couldn’t see me as much but if you focus and look closely you can slightly see me but there wasn’t any way to overcome this. People were also looking weirdly at me as I did look like a freaky stalker. Julius said he heard people saying ‘what is she doing’ and moving their heads to see what I was doing. The last problem we had was our biggest issue as there was a tanoid for us at the train station to stop filming and leave if we didn’t have permission and we had one more shot to film. We didn’t know we needed permission to film there so we didn’t know what to do but Julius and Agata went looking for a worker to explain what we were doing but they didn’t find anyone so we thought of just leaving as it was a little shot and it wasn’t that important.
