Filming Day one

On this day we filmed the performance aspect of the video including the duet scenes. We were really pleased with how the day went and managed to film all the shots we needed to. The weather also worked on our side with various moments of sunlight appearing! We also managed to take some pictures for our separate digipak ideas and overall i am really pleased with how its going.

What Went Well

1. Everyone was well organised and prepared so they knew what clothing to wear and what to bring
2. The weather worked in our favour and was just how we hoped it would be
3. The people we chose worked really well together and even began incorporating their own ideas into the piece
4. We all worked well and had our own jobs to make sure we got everything we needed

Improvements

1. We realised some of the shots we took came out slightly shaky so maybe we could've taken more time in being more cautious with some of the shots
2. As we were filming in a local park, some of our shots also had people or dogs in the background! However, we could use this to our advantage and say that it adds to the realism of the piece therefore engaging our audience.

         

Mis-en-scene

We decided to correlate the costumes to link both characters together with the colour of white as it has connotations of pure and graceful which fits in well with our storyline. We then got the male to wear black bottoms which connotes to the audience he has something 'dark' about him and his personality which may be the reason why there relationship broke down. We also made the female bare foot as it adds simplicity and effortlessness about her character and the way she presents herself. This could allow audiences to relate to the story more as it adds a sense of realism.

Make Up/Hair

We decided to do her makeup very natural looking so it does not distract audiences from the actual performance. As you can see we also put some glitter as a highlight to her face which will stand out and keep audiences engaged. the glitter also attracts audiences to look at her face and read her true emotions linking to the narrative. We also thought the glitter represents the storyline as well and shows her enjoyment and how happy she is within her relationship. Secondly, we curled her hair and left it looking natural and flowy to increase the professionalism of our music video whilst also showing the character well.

Digipak Ideas

These are some pictures i took on my camera for my digipak. I love the idea of having the female performer on the front as either of these shots because i think she represents the songs narrative well and is the key role. Secondly, for the background i was able to take some landscape shots such as the bench however i also liked the idea of having both the performers to signify the storyline again. I think audiences will also relate to the pictures of them together as relationships are a main part of everyones life. Also, i took some pictures of the female performer flicking her hair naturally in the wind as i think this is a convention of indie digipaks as it is very naturalistic and also features the nature behind her (another key convention)
