Filming at Rough Trade

The first scene in our music video is when both characters meet for the first time. This was filmed at the record store, Rough Trade. We contacted the manager of the shop to get filming permission (email shown here). We got permission to film inside but didn't know that we also needed permission from someone else to film outside. So we rushed the first shots where "Kelly" is shown walking in because we were told that outside of the shop is private property so when the woman walked away we quickly filmed then moved on.

This would have been a problem as it is the first time that we see Kelly and shows the shop that they meet in. However because the shot was straightforward and easy to frame everything worked out.

Filming inside the shop was fine as we got there early and there were not much people walking around. The manager made clear that they wouldn't turn the music down int he shop, which wasn't a problem because the shot didn't need any diegetic sound anyway. So in conclusion filming the Rough Trade scene was sucessful despite the hiccup in the beginning.
