On the 7th October we started our filming for the music video. We went into Manchester city centre and filmed the exterior shots. The first shot was of a variety of ordinary people walking up and down market street doing their daily business (e.g., going to work or shopping). As well as filming this we went onto the roof of the Arndale car park and filmed various shots of Josh (main singing character) walking and singing, These shots included a long shot of him facing the camera with the overlook of the city behind him. However when we looked at the storyboard we discovered that we had filmed the wrong scene, as we started filming from the beginning of the song and the storyboard states that the opening to the song will be a performace/auditon scene. So we reshot everything, to make it match the storyboard. We didn't get everything filmed we were planning to because of the mix-up during the beginning of the day so when we went out to film again we went back to the Arndale rooftop/car park and did a over the shoulder shot of Josh looking over at buildings and also various shots of buildings using extreme long shots. We also did a few extra shots that weren’t on the storyboard e.g., Josh inside the Arndale Additionally we shots extra footage of water fountains which are in the centre of Piccadilly gardens, these shots were difficult to shoot as we had to wait until the water go to just the right height to get the effect we wanted, but after a while of trial and error we were happy with the results. Finally we shot a scene of Josh singing one verse of the song whilst walking towards the camera through the middle of Market Street. We also decided to reshoot the footage we hade shot earlier f the people walking down market street and at this time it was buiser and there were more people which would give us a better effect in the long run.
