Filming

We booked the Red Lion in Gravesend for a five hour slot. We booked it from 3pm-8pm, however, not every band member could make the whole time alloted due to work and family arrangements. This restricted our options. After contemplation we decided to film the whole band shots and close ups of Jon first, as he had to leave at 6, and then the individual shots of the other members of the band when he had left. This worked quite well.


The only problem with this venue is that we had to provide our own instruments. This didn't cause too much hassle until we realised that Tom had forgotten one of the supports of the drums from his kit. After a lot of running around and thinking of make-shift stands, he realised he didn't even hit that drum so it wouldn't make much difference. A part from these hiccups, it all ran rather smoothly.


Every one of us did some filming, and when the others weren't, we were helping direct. The boys were very cooperative and did as we asked, making the whole process a lot easier and less time consuming. Each of us put in our own input and help each other out so overall I think everyone was pleased with the footage.
