We took the equipment to my father’s laundrette in East London to finish off our filming. We chose this location as we were making our storyline naturalistic as we could. We also decided to try out some new ideas such as have the artist singing at the same time as the narrative. This meant Georgia having to make sure not to move to much or change positions while we filmed her singing and also making sure we hadn’t moved the camera at all while filming this and the narrative. Though this was a challenge we decided it would be a way to leave naturalism in order to mix the artist with the narrative but still have them oblivious to each other.
The location proved to be a good one as it was quiet making it easy for us to film quickly enough. The fact that it was a real laundrette meant that it was completely realistic, and the general stillness of it during the times we filmed made it easier for us to shoot from various angles without interference. We used the washing machines to provide levels for us from which we could film from or film our actors on.
To make it look natural we asked them just to have a conversation while we filmed them. This worked well as it meant that all the responses to each other didn’t look like they were scripted assisting with the naturalistic theme of our music video.
