Blog 10

Week 10 was when we began our filming. Our first location was our friends house around south east london. It was ideal to the image we were looking to pull off and it met our philosophy fantastically, as the building looked old and poor. This shows our characters early lifestyle as he was seen to be poor from the early parts in his life. Furthermore, the continuation o the filming took place in the living room, we felt that putting clothes around and making the room really messy helped to demonstrate the immense struggle he went through. Recording him like this also has connotations of him being lonely and afraid. It showed he wasn't being looked after and he was left alone. Those words were mentioned in the lyrics, but it shows conformity through visual references regarding how bad and tough he found his life. Furthermore, the filming that day also suggested that he had no food in his fridge, as we put a camera in his fridge to suggest that he had no one around him and nothing to eat. Putting the camera in the fridge was a good affect as it gave our audience a personal feel to it, because some may have experienced similar things.
