Final Footage of Ricky

We finally came to the day when we had our final shot with our protagonist. To fill the gaps in our music video timeline, but also to stick to our original idea of having Ricky arguing with his mum to show that he is 'no good at home' as mentioned in the lyrics. We were however unable to get a mother figure to be in our video. We always had the idea of using subtitles in the scene to show the dialogue between Ricky and his mum. This led us to come up with the idea of filming Ricky going into a telephone box to ring his mum and we subtitle what Ricky is saying to her, to illustrate how they don't get on. The subtitle idea was inspired by the Green Day music video 'Jesus of Suburbia'.

We went to shoot in the centre of Walden, we wanted to get some high angle shots, so me and Ollie took the lift in a shop next to the telephone box to the 3rd storey so we could film Ricky walking inside. We wanted to get a range of different angles so we could do some interesting, fast cuts with the Ricky footage and the studio shots.
