Tuesday 11th October 2011- Whole Group- Office Scene:

Today we filmed only a small but valuable part of the music video. We used an interior office as our location that was based in our school. Connor and Bradley directed and filmed whilst Ryan and Jacob acted. Both Ryan and Jacob were in suits as we were portraying Jacob's character handing in his letter of resignation to his boss (Ryan). Although only a small part it plays a key role in the audience understanding the concept of the video where it is ambiguous to whether or not Jacob's character is fired and that's why he is seen supposedly taking his own life by jumping from a car park roof top. It took a couple of takes and a number of shots and angles to achieve the finished footage. Also we thought a lot about the use of natural lighting within the office set and also the mise-en-scene that we wanted to be created. For example we made use of the office telephone in live action and also included in shot filing cabinets, a computer and various other office accessories.
