Filming Day 3: Lil Switz/Foreshore/Car/ Abandoned area

Today I was hoping to get almost all off my filming done so I can carry on editing. I basically got them to go to different areas in hull which I believe are perfect landscapes for conventions of my genre and types of activity places couples visit.

I brought along various props to be used in my filming.

Different outfits for them both to wear, to express that it is different days. This included:

Abi:
Scarf
Headband
Jumpers
Cardigan

Matt:

I printed off my Ancillary texts (Magazine advert) and I positioned them in the background of my video. This is because it is relevant and is promoting the video itself, within the video.

We first went to Little Switz which is a large type of forest with lots of shooting opportunity's. Here I took mid shots and did a lot of the cinematography for example, steadi cam. This is so the audience feel engaged as if they are there in the action. I filmed them being happy and having fun around the forest. But then had to bring in the depressing scenes of them arguing. I also filmed shots of scenery, and this is because it gives the audience an insight of where the couple are and quickly introduces them to a different place.

I then did filming of them when we where on the move. I took mid shots from behind in the back. But I also positioned the camera on the dashboard at the front. This is so we get a different view of them and its more engaging seeing their faces then the back of their heads.  The shot from behind although positions the audience there, making them feel as if they are actually in the back of the car with them.

We went onto forshore next to do some more filming and they both changed. This is the show that its a different day and that they are always together having fun in various places. I didn't do to much filming here as it's not going to be used massively in my video. Its just quick little shots, expressing that its a different day and they are having fun. It was very windy and cold on the beach so i made sure they where both wrapped up warm.
Another area where we then went was an old abandoned site. I chose this because it links in with the genre of my music (graffiti, worn and dirty). From looking at other music videos of the genre house music, you will find that a lot of these type of conventions are shown. an example of this would be they music video 'White Noise' by Disclosure.

This is the type of style I wanted to portray, so it not only expresses my genre but makes the audience understand what type of music video this is.
