The document summarizes filming at a pub for a music video. It describes the actors involved and their roles. Scenes filmed include Ashley drinking alone at the bar to show him getting drunk over time. Filler shots were also captured, such as candles burning down. The band was later filmed performing after the pub closed, though problems arose due to time pressures and uncooperative band members. Overall, the filmmakers were pleased with the shots obtained but noted areas that could be improved.

3. FILMING AT THE PUB – OVERVIEW
• We started off the day at filming by meeting Ashley in the pub at around
6pm
• We told him to wear black trousers, a white t-shirt/cotton top with a leather
jacket
• The pub was still open when we started, so we had to work around the
other customers and workers who were carrying on around out
• We arranged for the band members to meet us later that evening as we
were shooting the band once the pub had closed as we had to set up the
instruments
• We used a variety of shots when filming Ashley including:
- Tracking shots of Ashley walking
- POV shots,
- Match on action (with him opening the door)
- Medium and long shots
- Close up shots of him opening the door to the pub

4. FILMING AT THE PUB – ASHLEY INSIDE THE PUB
• Once inside the pub, we filmed shots of Ashley at the bar, sitting on the
armchair texting and we used a variety of shots to increase the diversity in
our video
• We particularly tried to use high angled shots to increase a sense of
inferiority and feebleness of the male character
• We then moved Ashley to sit on a stool by the bar and we shot him buying a
drink and taking a sip of a beer
• We wanted to try create the effect of Ashley drinking lots of beers to show a
gradual process of him getting drunk
• We shot Ashley paying for one of the beers, and then we got empty glasses
of beer (from around the pub) and filmed shots of Ashley with the beer
glasses piling up
• We planned in the editing to cut these shots together to allow the audience
to recognize he is getting drunk and drinking lots of beer

5. FILMING AT THE PUB – FILLER SHOTS
• In between filming Ashley, Ella and I
filmed some filler shots, such as filming
the pub workers behind the bar pouring
drinks from the draught
• Another filler shot we filmed was of the
candles on a table. We used extreme
close up to film the candle flickering. We
started by filming one almost full
candle, then we found one which had
been burning for a bit longer so was
shorter with more wax. We shot around
5/6 different candles, each of which
smaller than the one before. We thought
this would be a good idea to show the
passing of time.

6. FILMING AT THE PUB – ASHLEY’S ENTRANCE
AND EXIT FROM THE PUB
• We went outside the front of the pub and shooting Ashley walking down the
road towards the door of the pub, and then walking into the pub
• Once we had got enough footage of Ashley walking into the pub (to be used at
the beginning of the music video), we prepared to film the shots of Ashley
leaving the pub (to be used at the end of the music video)
• We told Ashley we wanted him to stumble out of the pub, to give off the
impression that he was drunk
• We shot different angles of Ashley walking out e.g. lying on the floor to film his
feet, standing next to the door and having Ashley stumble past the camera
• We then crossed over the road and shot Ashley walking out the door and
stumbling down the road. These were some of the best shots we got of him
exiting the pub as there were cars passing by, which we caught on the camera
whilst filming Ashley walking out
• We were already planning to add an effect when it came to editing of the shot of
Ashley walking out the pub to enhance the drunken effect

7. FILMING AT THE PUB – THE BAND
• The pub closed at around 11pm, which meant it was going to be a late
night!
• As soon as the pub was empty, we all started to move the furniture to
make a space for the band to be set up
• Once the area was cleared (by that time all the band members had
arrived) we set up the drum set, the keyboard, microphones and put up
the huge speakers
• We turned on the camera and put the band members into their positions
to try and place them in the specific places to ensure they would all be
able to be seen when we were shooting the whole band
• Once the band members were all in place, we experimented with the
lighting, to try and place them so there was a focus on Barney (the main
singer) but also so the other members of the band would be seen.
Lighting was really important as the pub did not have very good lighting
at all, which made it have quite a gloomy atmosphere.

8. FILMING AT THE PUB – THE BAND (PROBLEMS)
• Once we started to actually film the shots of the band its was gone 12
o’clock. Ella and I knew that we weren’t going to be able to film the band
scenes to the best of our ability as we were keeping the pub open after
hours and many of our band members had school and work the next
day
• We started to play the song and not all the band members were
cooperating properly, which was making me really aggravated as we
just wanted to get the band shots done and then we could all go
• However, due to the stress and time-pressure we did not get a very wide
variety of shots of the band
• We played the song out loud iPod speakers and once the band
members were a bit more relaxed, we started to get some good shots

9. FILMING AT THE PUB – THE BAND
• We took individual shots of the band members. These included:
- A side-on shot of Barney singing into the microphone
- A high-angled shot of Barney singing on his knees
- Close-up shots of the band members playing their instruments e.g. the
drummer, keyboard player and the guitar players
• Our main shots were of the band as a whole
• We shot the whole song through about 10 times, by this point it was
around 1:30/2:00 in the morning
• Ella and I decided that we would have to work with what we had shot
and we started packing away all the equipment, moving the furniture
back
• We then said a huge thank you to everyone who had taken part and of
course the pub owner for staying open for us

10. FILMING AT THE PUB – WHAT WOULD I HAVE
DONE DIFFERENT?
• I would have tried to find a pub where we could have filmed at more
appropriate time so we were not in a rush or under time pressure
• I would have been a bit more careful with the actors we chose to use as
we had to find 2 band members on the day of filming because our two
friends who were planned to be in the band pulled out the day before we
had arranged to shoot
• I would have tried to get a wider variety of shots of the band to try and
make it look a bit more professional and not so static
Other than these points, both Ella and I were really happy with the shots we
got overall and we were looking forward to starting to edit and bring our
music video to life!
