Shots part 2

We decided we would go out again with a camera around school and get some more practise at the type of shots we will be using for the final piece. However we were limited with the setting as we had to shoot on the school site. We used this time to focus on the female character as she will be the actress we are having for the real music video and it gave us a better look at the things we want to include and the things we want her to do.



We made this shot showing the famale character looking out over the barrier. Again we were limited with where we would film the practise shots so the setting in this shot is not ideal, however when it comes to the final piece we will be using the same style of shot at the beach and it will show the famale looking out over the sea, we decided this was a good idea as it represents the girl thinking about the future and looking forward to what is about to come in comparison to the rest of the music video which shows reminising about her past.


We decided to use this type of shot as it will effectively give a good view of the location we have chosen to film at which is going to be the sea side. This shot establishes the background which is a significant part of our whole music video as we are wanting to base a lot of it on nature and the sea side fits nicely to the naturalistic enviroment. We will have the famale looking around at the enviroment at this shot.

 
We picked a low angle shot to include when the female character is shown looking back at the past relationship which the song is about. This show effectively makes her the focus of the music video and shows shes the main important character that the song and video is about. The fact she is looking to the side shows she is looking out to the beach and reminising about her past.
 
I think when it comes to filming this style of establishing/long shot in the sea side location we have picked it will be an extremely good shot because it will include catherines character who is the focus of the music video aswell as the sea and beach and this links back again to the naturalistic beautiful setting and because it is a long shot it will give a good view of the waves and sea fitting to the peachful mellow feel we are wanting to interpret throughout.

  1. I'm pleased that you seem to have accelerated a little in your blogging - make sure you keep it up, and that you are offering your personal perspective on the experience. I look forward to seeing the location photos, when they're published. I would also like to see a storyboard linked to a reasonable detailed breakdown of how the video would work - you should use the script outline in the pack I gave you as a model.
