Prepare filming for 29th of November


Location; 

Winter Wonderland


Expected Shots- 

Tilt up- 

Why?-

  • A tilt up would be a good shot to use as a transitional shot. i feel it would work quite well as a shift from the friends being together and the one of them being alone 


In focus\Out of focus- 

Why?-


  • i think these shot would also work well as a transition shot. if we plane to slow dow the video focusing the camera in and out would work well with the pace of the video.  


Long shot/ Wide shots- 

Why?-


  • these shots would work well to show the friend on her own contrasted to when she with the other . this would work well to show her loneliness and detachment.   


Over shoulder shots-

Why?-


  • the over the shoulder shots would work well to represent the point of view of the character with out completely excluding the character from the video. 
Problems we may face-

our location is quite crowed and it may be quite hard to capture good shot with so many people walking. we may have problems with people walking past the camera which mean the focusing may mess up and also problems with people who don't want to be filmed.

How will we over come these problem-

we could find a part of the area that isn't a crowed. the lack out people around will make it a little better to film people as will only be a small crowed. another idea for the camera problem is that for the filming problem was for the part with the two friend to film with hand held techniques to provent people knock the camera ans also it will be much easier to maintain focus

Locations


These are the locations we are going to use for our music video, wings by birdy, we chose these locations as we feel they best suit and represent our target audience the most. We would like to show the diversity of our audience as well by using rural and urban locations from south bank to Victoria park. These locations will help us successfully feed our idea to our audience and will encourage the idea of flashbacks into good memories with her best friend and then back in that location by herself at a darker time and that will be shown in a duller colour to reflect a negative tone.

Storyline change- New Narrative Outline


We have decided to change our idea. the reason we have changed our idea was because we found that our story following a blind character become to difficult to think of ideas of ways we could represent the a story in a creative and unoffencive way.

our new idea involves a broken friendship. we are aware that the idea itself can be very cliche however we want to focus how the relationship is shown through the style of the video. we really like the idea of   having a catalyst in our video, a way to show how the situation has been effected. we really want to be creative in our video, but its just finding a way to make the video look and feel unique, and not fall into the commonplace which most videos use to represent this idea.
For  our video we wanted to focus on having contrasting elements. We wanted to have  moments in the video that reveal a dramatic change in the narrative of the story. We figured that this would be very effective in the filming process. It allows us to be very creative when choosing the type of shots we want to use and it also how we want to present the idea ( using  different themes).

The basis of our idea follows friendship that is torn apart when the two are separated. The video follows how one of the friends deal with the reality of it.

We decided we wanted to have an ambiguous ending.    

Wings by Birdy lyrics

Here is the completed version of our annotated lyrics, along with this we created a timeline to show exactly how long each shot should be for each lyric. We divided it into three sections, Beginning middle and end which has been colour coded at the top of the page.
