Below are a few snip tooled images from our third shoot. We focused on the narrative again with this shoot as we believe the narrative is the part of the video that needs to be adjusted and improved upon the most. The narrative is the most important part of our music video to get right because if the audience doesn’t understand the story of the video, it is pointless them watching it. An easily understandable music video keeps the audience engaged and excited.

For this shoot we decided to do additional narrative filming. Our previous draft lacked texture in the video and we found that a solid narrative would make it much more engaging for our audience. A therapy room where Aimee expresses her sorrows to her therapist fits into the type of narrative performance we are aiming for. The atmosphere in the room, as well as the clothing the two girls wore, and the props that we used, all fit into the Mise en Scene of the scene, adding another layer of engagement to it. The angles and various shot distances that we managed to get from this shoot were improvements from our previous shoots. This is because we wrote up a shot list prior the shoot meaning that we were much more organised and wasted no time.

What went well

• The room, costumes and props fitted the theme of a therapist
• Aimee’s acting helped to support our narrative – she clearly portrayed the pain that our character is meant to communicate
• The variety of shots that we managed to get were consistent and the close ups will especially allow more of a connection with the audience

What we need to adjust

• Props are an important part of narrative so we may need to re-film or edit the clips so that there is more of a focus on props like the tissues for example
• As a group we have decided that we will need to carry out another shoot in this location so that we can re-shoot clips such as the wobbly tilt of the ‘therapist’, as well as get more content of Aimee’s distress to insert into later on in our video
• Putting subtle colour correction filters on these clips might help with the narrative sense – bright but low saturation filter to show that it is current but melancholy
