This shot is simply of me walking down a road to meet Jacob at the end of the video. We had to practice this many times before shooting, as I was stood further back before setting off, yet this affected where Jacob would meet me, as we needed the final place that we would be at the end of the video to be in sight behind him, so that it is continuous. We could not be in that exact place at the time of filming because of the restrictions with the lighting (before we started using John's camera light), so had to have the area close behind us as a reference to the end of the song and the action approaching. This meant that I had to practice many times with the music just walking and moving further down the road to meet him. Eventually we marked the shown point in the video, before planning to shoot another scene from over my shoulder of me reaching my destination with Jacob looking back at me, seeing our meeting place over his shoulder, like a double over-shoulder shot.
This is the last part of the instrumental sequence, where I am approaching Jacob. This took several attempts before filming, as the particular last few bars in the music was where this part of the film would fit, as it was just long enough before fading to the next flashback. Therefore we had to practice me moving towards Jacob before the time ran out. After several attempts, we got this final result, which we are pleased with as it shows clarity of the surroundings and characters, as you can still see Jacob's face and recognise it is him, and also the conventions of the over-shoulder shot are clear and precise.
