This is the final ending scene, 'the meeting place', where the two characters finally complete their journey, and their story that the audience have been brought through, as the female expresses her feelings to the male. For this scene, we wanted to give a big impact as it was the final climax of the whole video, therefore needed the right settings and lighting to make it the perfect romantic location, gripping the audience and pulling their emotional heartstrings, making them wonder what will happen. We wanted this scene to take all of the emotions of the previous scenes and completely break them down, leaving no walls or barriers of the past to hide behind, making the characters stand face to face in complete honesty and openness with each other for the first time in the video.
We chose to film this at the water's edge at the marina, as there are many backlights of the city behind, and with this combined, we are making a stereotypical romantic convention, used in many other films and videos in the same genre, such as the film 'Sleepless in Seattle'.
However, when filming this, we found that the lighting would sometimes cut underneath our faces, making a scary undertone, and giving off the wrong feeling to the video. We then tried to stand over the lights, as our feet could not be seen anyway as we were filming in a medium close up. This helped to dim out the right parts of light during the scene. The wind was also a problem, as it was hard for us to properly look at each other as it was constantly blowing in our eyes. The last problem that occured, was that me and jacob found it hard to look into each other's eyes, so had to keep re-filming this scene until we found a way around it, which was for me to divert my eyes around him rather than straight at him. Next time we film, we aim to try to work when it is not so windy, and also practice many times before filming, incase me and jacob find it hard to act out the scene without feeling nervous and laughing.
