A very speedy setting up all the kit

Basically us setting up the kit to shoot the band scene. Here as you can see we've moved the sofa and coffee table out of one half of the room to make an ideal space to set the band scene in a fairly dingy house (no offence to Elijah or Reece as it is their house) which fits with the emotion of the song. Here you can see me setting up the two light stands with metal cones to evenly spread the light and the ensure that it is all directed towards the area in which we are to film so none of the bulb light is lost behind the stand (hence the use of the cone to reflect it all forward). We've used a drum kit, electric guitar, amplifier and microphone within this set up. I had this small digital camera set up to film the set-up process to show the technical side of setting up and filming (the bit which i love best); and my Samsung tablet set up to film the sort of behind the scenes and evidence of us working together as a pair and that it is actually us creating this music video. As you can see we managed to fit all this kit, myself and Becky into my tiny little car which was admittedly the biggest difficulty and trying to get some of our closest friends to do things which could be laughable but as we were taking it seriously it was slightly annoying when they became self conscious. 



P.S if you didn't believe us that we could fit it all in the car, heres a photo taken from leaning in from the back passengers door.
