These are the 10 shot ideas that we are definitely going to capture whilst filming. We chose these shots as they represent and highlight different emotions, aspects and feelings to the audience throughout the video. We used screenshots from all different videos within our genre as well as some neighbouring genres to ensure we have the shots that are going to be conventional to the genre our song is.
+ We had a developed character idea that has a good backstory and is not going to be a problem to portray by our model.
+The song being a message that he is trying to engage with. Allows our group to be creative with how he keeps being rejected and how she keeps missing the message.
+Our location ideas are able to be easily depicted, our lighthouse setting is representing their romance.
-We need to narrow down our ideas as we have got too many to be able to clearly present in less than two minutes.
-Characters only having two friends each to illuminate the over complex ideas and this also allows us to be more precise and organised.
-The narrative and performance both need to be cut to avoid us having too much to do.
In order to use the song we have decided to use we have messaged the artist, The Lumineers. We decided to message them on instagram as when we researched it was the most effective as they are the most active on that platform.

Whilst filming our sequence we made sure that we kept in mind the success criteria to get into the habit of making a video that follows the brief. The brief includes:
The deliberate camera movement we used was a tilt from the characters feet slowly moving to reveal their face. We also had a eyeline match where the camera followed the male characters eyes to see his friend on the opposite side of the court. we successfully had five different camera shots and angles including an over the shoulder shot as well as a low angle shot of the ball flying through the air. For this task we followed the success criteria and the brief which ensured that we have had good practice for when we have a brief for our coursework. We learnt many things whilst filming and editing this sequence such as;
This task has taught me an incredible amount about the editing and filming process within the media. This task was the first time I have used any of the hardware and software involved, except for the camera itself, during this one task I have already learnt so much that I had no idea about before. This task has helped me to familiarise myself with some of the software and hardware we will be using ourselves when we come to create our own music videos.
