Permissions:

Rule of 6 (Covid restrictions) and social distancing remains in place

Suitability / shots for production (scene numbers)

Used in Verse 2 and the Pre-Chorus as well as second Chorus.

Well suited to the genre of my piece due to the overall “underground” feel of the park, the main
reason I chose this area is because it is based in Shoreditch and close to brick lane, which is known
for its diversity. There is a huge number of graffiti around the bridge I am planning on filming
under, fitting well into the genre of alternative.
Lighting Information:
All-natural lighting and under the bridge there
are a few panel lights (weak though)
Sound Information:
Passers by/ the public
Cars and trains from bridge above
Solutions:
Film at the right time of day to achieve a dusky
summer night (cloudy)
Camera setting changed to fluorescent when
under bridge and bring LED light in case needed

As this is a part of the Music Video no sound
will be used other than the recording of the
original song so this is not an issue

beforehand to avoid complications
