We filmed in various locations over a couple of weeks. The area's we ended up filming were:

- in school (on stairs/ in corridor)

- bandstand in Kingston

- the red phoneboxes (also in kingston)

- in front of some graffiti in a park

- at Sung-mins house

We wanted to film in lots of different locations so we could pick and choose the best parts of each and leave the audience wanting to see more.

We were a little underprepared to start with which meant we met up many times and tried things out, but didn't really film anything. So then we decided to re-evaluate and ended up completely changing our idea (originally we weren't going to do a narrative, just performance.)

The first day we filmed the narrative section, which was done in school. It went quite well, we did a large number of different takes so we would have enough to work with when it became time to edit. We set up lighting in the corridor (as it was too dark on the camera.)

The next time met up, was during the half term. We met up at 8 am in Kingston and filmed outside the telephone boxes. We thought that this would be a suitable location because it gives off a rather "punk vibe" (it looked like someone kicked the phoneboxes over when they were raging - ooh, how punk!) We didn't have any problems when filming outside, (except the fact that it was freezing! and quite embarassing) at one point we managed to attract a little audience and someone took photos!

We then went to the bandstand. We chose this location for obvious reasons, to give off the vibe of us being a local student band , just starting out, playing our first few gigs. We filmed the whole song all the way through about 4 times.

We then filmed in front of the graffiti (which was also in the park.) This location was decided on because we also through it fitted with the punk rock aesthetic that we were going for.

The next time we filmed more for the performance in/around Sung-min's house. We filmed in the car, in the garage (full of pianos!) and we filmed the narrative in a spare room in her house.

Finally, we reshot some of the shots in front of the graffiti at the park and filmed some spinning sequences as well. We also did some mini interviews of the band.

Then we went home.
