This music video had a budget of £20,000 and they filmed all of it in just one day. For the cast of the video they used local people this saved money, also the location of the film was in manchester. The music video took around 2/3 days for editing this shows the very tight timescale some music videos have and the sort of budget some music video directors have to work with. This music video had 10 days of pre-production.
