On the second day, we filmed the other half of the music video, the dancing in the barn.
After arriving at the location we had carefully selected previous to the date, we began to clean and set up equipment so that the area was exactly how we needed it. We arrived much earlier than the previous day of filming as we were aware that it would take some time to clean out the location and make the necessary adaptations. The reasoning behind the late adaptions was that the barn was regularly used, and as we had been granted access we thought it best to cause as little disruption as possible.
As with the other half of the filming we decided to film the dance from many different angles to ensure footage was not scarce and we have a choice of what to edit, where to cut and to allow the desired outcome to be as closely achieved as possible.

An important element of the day was providing 'warm up' breaks for the dancers. As we filmed in the winter, the temperature was not safe to be exposed in, and with the thin outfits we chose to use, it was important that the volunteers did not become too cold and risk their own health. To counter this effect we provided blankets and additional layers, which we gave to them after every 10-15 minutes.
The dance was choreographed well in advance to ensure the day ran as smooth as possible. With the help of a trained and experienced dancer we were able to tailor the dance to a professional standard as well as meet the demands of the message we were trying to portray. The other dancer had only expierience from a very young age but after learning the dance from scratch and showing her ability we decided she was perfect for the role.
