2nd November

In preparation for the filming we chose to meet at the main entrance of Plattfield's park, Fallowfield at 9 o'clock. We deliberately chose to film at such an early time to capture the crisp morning sun in which we needed to portray the image of a perfect autumn day which continues the theme of seasonal changes. Although we have chose the location we haven't chosen particular locations within the park as we thought it would be more success full to take the place as it comes and be spontaneous with our shots.

Entering the park we immediately came across a location perfect for a solo guitar piece, which was a table and chairs obviously made from the stump of a tree amongst a grassy scene this added to the natural hippy look in which we aimed for within the video.

Firstly we started with a two second long shot which could also be considered as an establishing shot of the location of the performers being framed by branches of a tree to symbolise the idea that the hippy couple are constantly surrounded by nature to follow we then used a mid angle panning shot that focused upon both performers this then lead to a mid shot/ traveling shot of both performers walking towards the railings in which surround the park's lake. We all agreed on introducing this part of the park to our autumn scene due to the picturesque lake in the background. The shot in which followed this was an eye line shot of the performers looking into the lake being framed by the trees in the background, this therefore increasing the autumn feel of the scene.Although we were aware that this kind of shot will have been used before we thought it would be useful to ensure the stereotypical scenes for a music video of the romance genre.

We then decided it could make for a unique shot if the male performer was to climb up into a tree along with his guitar to mime a section of the song. The first shot of this scene was a low angle shot of the male performer playing his guitar. Throughout these shots we have used natural lighting due to the fact all of our shots have been filmed in outdoor locations. The male performer then held the camera and carried out a free held low angle shot following the female performer as she walked around the tree, this shot resulted into giving the impression of a point of view shot from the males perspective this therefore showing a romantic connection between the two. This was then presented as visa versa when the female performer then took the camera and conducted the same shot just the other way around so therefore a high angled shot into the tree.

We then performed a running scene of the male performer chasing the female as a consequence of her playfully tugging him out of the tree. We chose this kind of narrative as we discovered that when editing the beach scene the performers were unable to portray the giddy youthfulness of the young love in which we aimed to present as the overall shots were quite still and almost motionless in our opinion which we found very unrealistic. However when carrying out the chase scene we found it was very time consuming as it was hard to keep tracking the performers without making them appear jumpy. We then realised that an autumn scene wouldn't be an autumn scene without a shout of the performers playing amongst the leaves so with aims of not letting it look cheesy we carried out a 360 degree shot following around the outside of the male/female performer.

Then finally we continued with the chase scene finishing it with the pair playfully tumbling to the ground with the female performer falling on top of the male, finalizing with them both lying down amongst the autumn leaves.
