These images are clips taken from the footage we captured in our shoot 5. We needed to get across the anger that the girl was projecting towards the boy due to him ending their relationship. This was the most necessary part of the narrative that we had to film so that the entirety of the video makes sense to the audience. We needed to get close ups for connection to the audience as well as a variety of shots to aid audience engagement.

This shoot was our final shoot of the narrative for our music video. The location that we chose for this shoot was Aimee’s house because for this scene we were trying to communicate the ‘break up’ between the two characters – the boy had to pack a suitcase so we thought a bedroom was the best location for this. I think that regarding the variety of shots and acting, this was one of our best shoots yet. This is also due to the detailed shot list and storyboard that we wrote up for this shoot. Despite this, the lighting in the bedroom – at certain angles – was very underexposed so we will either have to scrap those clips or try to saturate and brighten them when we upload them to Premiere Pro.

What went well

• The acting from both of the performing characters fitted our storyline brilliantly and this should allow our video to make much more narrative sense and keep our audience engaged throughout
• We finally managed to get lots of close ups in this shoot and when watching them back you can immediately sense a difference in the connection with the video itself
• The variety of shots that we got meant that we could choose which footage looked best together – we also got a variety of angles of the same shot, which when put together work very well and enable the narrative in particular to flow much easier than before

What we need to adjust

• The Mise en Scene wasn’t that thought out – although we had the correct props that fit into the narrative, the costumes did not reflect this
• In the shots facing the windows, the lighting, as mentioned before, is very underexposed – therefore making the clips look very dark – whether this is something that we can fix in Premiere Pro or not is something that we will have to establish very soon
