Here are some images from the clips that we recorded at Pleinmont. This shoot was much more successful than our previous Pleinmont shoot as it was not raining and our performer knew the lines of the song much better than before. We also decided that we needed the entirely of the performance of the song completed at this location as the pervious lip syncs in the LED lit room did not fit the genre and had bad lighting throughout. Along with the performers knowledge of the song and our shot list that we wrote, this allowed our shoot to be much more efficient and organised.

Below are images from our boat terminal shoot. As we completed this shoot after already filming a performance shoot we will admit that we did not spend as much time on this one – and I think that is why some of the shots that we got were not up to standard. Despite this, the variety of shots that we got were very worthy of being in the video.

For our fourth shoot we made the decision to re-film our performance shoot (shoot 1) due to the weather conditions that we were faced with at the time. As well as this we needed to get more narrative shots at the boat terminal in Town. This part of the narrative will help the chronology of the whole music video as the audience will now be able to understand that then boy is leaving her to go elsewhere, not just breaking up with her. By reshooting the performance and gaining more narrative footage, we should have a lot more to work with while editing.

What went well

• Due to our performer revising the lyrics more thoroughly, the lip syncing had improved massively, and allowed us to film more of the lyrics than we previously could
• The variety of shots that we got at both location shoots were significantly better than our previous shoots – again we had a shot list and storyboard for these shoots
• We managed to do two shoots in one day – showing our communication skills and how organised we all were
• By gaining more narrative footage, our embedded anecdote is starting to come together
• The bettered lighting in these shoots made a massive difference in how the shots themselves eventually look

What we need to adjust

• The shots filmed at the boat terminal were not the best ones that we could have achieved so we will either have to edit what footage we have to the best of our ability or do a small reshoot of the clips that need improvement
• To ensure that we have every clip we could possibly want and make sure that they are carried out exactly how we want them we need to remember to record every shot 2-3 times each – this will allow us to pick and choose certain parts of each angle/shoot
• Need one more shoot to cover the remainder of the narrative to join it all together – this shoot will need to consist of lots of close ups to connect to the audience more, as this is what we were lacking within these two shoots
