Final shoot for flashback scene.

This is the final shoot for our flashback scene in our music video. Due to the snow before Christmas, we were delayed with filming this for a long time, however we did a series of test shots to make sure the rest of the video still fitted. Here are the final results that we got.




This is the first sequence that we shot as a final composition. In this scene, I had to make sure that the umberella was placed at the right angle after experimenting with this, as the wind was strong and kept blowing it out of the direction of the camera, therefore disallowing the audience to see what was happening. When I am shown to be struggling, I flip my head to one side, which was worrying at first when we noticed, as we thought that my facial expressions would be limited to the audience. However, this was only done for a quick period of time, and the light still managed to pick up all the expressions we wanted to be seen of me struggling, so we decided that it would still be acceptable for the scene and left it in. We also had concerns at first about Jacob's head being too dark to be picked up by the light when he is looking outwards at the sea, however when he turns his head towards me it becomes clear he is looking over, and the light fills up the expressions of his face. We are happy with this result, as expression and action can be seen with clarity, which was the main focus of this particular scene with the weather conditions we experienced when filming.





In this final shoot, we had to slightly move the positions that me and jacob were stood in when he approaches me to help me fix my umberella, as the shadow from his head was directly over my face, blocking any emotions shown through this, and making it unclear of what was happening. Although the wind was quite strong on the night of filming, it helped to set the stereotypical romantic mood of the night, and the lighting from the camera (with the aid of the light from John) really helped to light up the expressions of our faces, impacting on the overall outcome of the video. We are pleased with this result, as it looks natural and romantic, and the actions within the scene are shown clearly throughout.
