Production Progress Entry - #1

Today, we hit some roadblocks. We have hit a 'reality check' stage that some of our big aspirations for this video aren't going to be possible - we have had some big ideas for some big shots/scenes that we want to do, but we have realised having attempted to do one this morning that they aren't all going to be possible. So we have decided to resort to some alternate shots, some compromises.

We are going to try and source access to the roof of a high-rise building in or around College - this is one of the creative shots that we know is going to be difficult but we don't want to scrap out of the production we are going to create. We have sent e-mails off to the Co-operative Group, Manchester Science Park and the Beetham Tower to see if either of them will be kind enough to allow us on to their roof! Hopefully somthing good will come out of at least one of them.

We have settled on some locations we want to do some filming in - specifically alderly edge and Piccadilly Gardens. These are public areas which can provide us two completely different atmospheres for the filming when we come to do it - so hopefully we can achieve the shots we're after with the handheld camera we have at our disposal.

Maddie has announced that she really had a passion for wanting to research the makeup and clothing for the video - which we are in agreement that she is in the best position to do so.
