Narrative filming

The group has now begun filming the narrative within school. We have decided to split the narrative into two for the storyline - the first section is a group of teenagers who truant from school to have a day in Camden, then to go to the Skints gig in the evening. The second section is another teenager who is a friend of those in the first, however chooses to stay in school and to have a regular day. However, his day gets worse and worse, and eventually the character becomes too frustrated and decides to bunk the rest of the day to join his mates in Camden.
So far, we have filmed two small sections of the second section, where the character's day is going badly within school. First, his school mate trips him as he is walking, and the second we have filmed is his teacher giving him a F for an essay. We are trying to keep the problems down to earth, so that the video is generally realistic and fits with the theme of the lyrics themselves, of an East London scene.
Choosing a school scene has been really useful, considering we can use a fully real scene for it, adding to the realistic mise-en-scene. We'll also be obtaining permission to film in other London areas for the other section of the narrative.
