Balloon buying! ££££££££££££

Our key visual element to start off with was a black balloon in every location. We planned to buy it with helium and tie it to a string and weight. However when i went to buy the balloons the shop assistant said that helium alone costs 50p and only lasts 5 hours so we decided it was best to blow them up ourselves and tie it to a silver string. 

In the library location the balloon looked a bit random but that's alright because we may edit the music video in a way the balloon isn't seen in the library location. However at Kings Cross Fountain we got lighter colored balloons as we filmed in the dark and the black balloon would be impossible to recognize. It was difficult finding plain balloons because majority of them had 'happy birthday' or 'happy retirement on it' and it. 

I think the balloons worked really well in the kings cross scene as the colors worked well with the lights in the water.
