Today we began planning our video. we decided to go for a You Me At Six song called If i were In Your Shoes. We went out to look for some abandonned buildings on the second part of the lesson with a still camera. We went out to old trafford where Andy knew the locations of some abandonned building. When we got there we thought it was way too dark, there was no power supply anywhere and no room to fit a car in because we thought we could use the headlights from the car as an alternative.

We failed to make progress on the previous lesson. We then decided to have a chat about scrapping the song and choosing a more retro-like song because everyone was doing the same modern genre. After a few intense minutes, we decided to change the song and do Crosstown Traffic by Jimi Hendrix. We all came up with really good ideas as we listened to the song more often. One of our first ideas was to go out and get close shots, medium shots and zoom shots of traffic around Manchester city center. For this we needed a sunny day. However, the day we planned it on was dark, cloudy so we continued to plan and organize a plan for shooting the next time we had Media Studies.
