During our day at Platform, we got more and more used to the lighting system, and how it is used. This is a small clip of it in action. It shows which buttons needed to be moved at which point in the certain base track:

Base Tracks
While at Platform shooting our music video, we came up with an improvised idea for one of our base track. This was useful because now we have more footage to choose from. When we start editing we can use the Marker Key in Final Cut Pro and pick out bits we want.
Arriving at Platform
Here is a short vlog of our group setting up props, lighting and sound in Platform. We decided to spent roughly an hour out of our 5 hour time slot to do so to keep ourselves with track of time and to be organised!
Vlog: Tripod vs Handheld

Emirates Airline
When planning for our location, there was an idea to use the 'Emirates Airline' - we originally thought this was a great idea, and came up with various scenarios in which we could use it.
Personally, when researching this location myself, I came across this video which appealed to me greatly.

It is a video (in x4 speed) which shows the journey you'd go on when boarding the cable car. One particular idea that popped up was that we could get a long shot of a major London landmark (The Ghurkin) and then make a jump cut to a close shot.
In the end, we decided not to use the cable car idea, as it didn't go along with the lyrics in the song. The song has a very upbeat tempo, and the lyrics go a long way to representing a party/fun scene. This meant that the cable car would be a very far jump away from the song and what it meant.
Platform
Platform was the location in which a lot of our music video is filmed.
We payed a fee in order to use it, so wanted to make it the best quality possible.
We were able to film many base tracks whilst there, and are very happy with them.
Personally, I like the overall concept of the video. We kept it similar to the lyrics, which meant very bright scenes, and also involved the person in our video dressing up. We had loads of props which helped us represent the lyrics, which consisted of balloons, masks and many other things.
