For the first day of filming we went to Hampstead. We wanted to film some of the memories of me and Sam together here and we knew the hill was a perfect spot. We left about 11 and got there for 12. When we arrived it was unfortunately raining so we got a quick coffee in Starbucks, we also asked if we could film there, but they said 'no' unless we went to their media department (what a waste of £3!) We quickly resolved this and decided that we'd have to film this bit in our local town centre. Whilst we were there we got changed into our summer clothes so it would look like it was Summer. Safe to say it was pretty cold wearing just a dress!
Our first spot we decided to film at was this pretty cobbled street. We were lucky that it was not very busy, but still nice enough to get a good shot. After setting up the tripod, Lauren directed me and Sam in how we should look like we're in love. We held hands, but felt that we could do more so I took the opportunity to stop mid walk and he pulled me in for a hug. We felt this looked a lot better and more emotional than us just walking, holding hands.
After taking a few shots down this street we had to try and find Hampstead Heath. Unfortunately this was not as easy as we'd originally thought it would be and we ended up lost in Hampstead. We must have looked it too (me in a dress, Sam in shorts and Lauren holding a tripod) as a man soon approached us and gave us directions. Turns out we were going the opposite way! We then found the Heath with not much trouble and set off trying to find Parliament Hill.
Who knew the same group of people could get lost twice in the same day! After almost an hour and directions from two people, including the park rangers, we reached Parliament hill. We were tired and freezing but the view was amazing and we knew we'd made a good choice in location. We were blown away and thought this was the perfect place for a music video. We got some scenery shots and the shots we needed then went home.
