Monitor shot

As you can see from the video below the shot didn't take that long to shoot but took alot longer to think through before hand. Originally we were going to take the shot a school from some steps by a classroom ( see photograph one.) After liaising with the site staff and the teachers we came to the decision that the school wouldn't be a good place to do it because of the danger that it may cause the students and teachers. We therefore decided we would shoot the monitor shot on a flat roof at my house. (photograph 2) As you can see by the video we took a number of precautions so that we weren't hurt and the monitor was smashed safely without causing damage to any of the equipment. To do this all nice and safely we took the following precautions

• Me and Matt stayed well clear of the shot
  
• We used zoom on the cameras so that they weren't too close to get damaged
• We placed a wooden grate in front of one of the cameras so that it wouldn't get damaged by flying debris.

Having done all this, the shot turned out well for us and has become the big finish in our music video.
