Recreational shots

This specific shot was originally going to be the scene setting opening shot that created an image/environment that the user watching the music video could relate to, as it is a basic but at the same time interesting stationary shot. We intended in placing a zoom feature when filming the shot to create a focus point on what we intended in being the main feature. (this would primarily be the female actress) However as our video progressed our story board gradually progressed with it, and with deep thought we felt that the opening shot was not a strong enough opening scene; (the opening shot should be the best/interesting shot) thus this is the reason in why we chose to do a different opening.

Another angle of the opening shot, however this would contain one of the first appearances of the male character which would mainly consist of the male characters foot and in the background the female character carelessly reading the book. Although the male character will be just plainly walking, we will have implemented a quick two shot sequence from him leaping off the platform and another shot that is shown on the left that will show the male character landing the leap and eventually walking away from the camera towards the female character.

Without knowing it at the time, this shot would be part of the opening sequence. The idea was to create an opening scene that painted a picture of where the film was taking place and what was contained in the surrounding area. The male character will be originally sitting/ lying on the grass closest to the camera who will then look up at the female character and be immediately star struck. Although this is one of our first opening shots we will most probably have to film it later on into the filming production as we will want the best lighting possible and filming in December can create a cold undesirable look about the film.

This is where the majority of our band shots/sequence would take place, although the room has simplicity about it we had numerous objects and props to work with to create the right genre and mise-en-scene. However we may find it difficult to produce the right variety of shot types as it is a small room and rather awkward to produce high standard long shots. Trying to acquire the right lighting may also pose as a problematic scenario as there is only one dim lit light in the entire room; however we also have two light propelling windows that will create a correct lighting depending on what time of day and what the whether is like when filming.

This reccy shot would primarily be one the final closing shots. This is the inevitable key shot sequence that would finally link the two characters (male and female) together and join the two parted story to make one. The shot is designed to look as if the two characters are having a romantic candle lit dinner, we therefore will have to create a individual/ unique lighting aroma to add a close romantic scenario. We will do this by using a high powered bulb and then place brown baking paper around the light so it creates an all round saturated effect.
