Stills from the shoot/ location ideas

Location hunting and shooting


Today we went out and looked for locations and tried out costumes with the actors. The costume works really well, and we found loads of good locations, one of which was the car park at Anglia Square, the graffitti provides an interesting and colour backdrop and fits the urban theme of ska. We did some filming today to see how the costume and location looked, overall a practical planning session, with costume finalised and some good location ideas. As a group we felt the session went well and we came up with ideas together as we where out, we had fun trying out different camera angles and taken 'photo shoot' as part of our reseach into costume, and identity.

Issy, Jack, Ben and Andy in costume, with the graffitti background. The compostion of the photo makes them seem as a group and a band. The urban location and costume and generic of the ska genre. Tribly hats, sunglasses, braces are all iconic images of the thrird wave ska.

Experimenting with camera angles and prospective.
Above : we had a go at doing a Madness style walk - cross referecing to Madness. The walk is used in several Madness videos, and has become a signature/ iconic part of Madness.
