Establishing scenery shots

We don't plan to replicate this music video exactly. The majority of shots in the original are filmed during the day however we want to include an equal amount of day and night time visuals. Also, a large quantity of this video contains filming in cars and buses. As this won't be possible for us we will have to compromise and film mostly on the streets of central London. Furthermore in relation to editing, we are going to do a lot more with motions than in the original and we plan on using filters such as black and white for a few of the shots. Lastly, we aim to create most of the base tracks using scenery and not the artist singing. Despite this, there will be a number of shots in which the singer can be seen to promote themselves and their album. 

The basetracks we plan on using are as follows:

Mid shot of artist walking along River Thames

Wide shot of artist walking through park

Wide shot of artist sitting at bus top

Medium close up of artist sitting under bridge

Over the shoulder of artist sitting on bench at south bank(overlooking river)

Several establishing shots of scenery in central London
