Filming Day 1 - Wind Terbines

Today we went up to the Wind Turbines situated outside of Burnley and as winter is approaching as well as they're placed on hills, it was very cold and windy, which was good for our video as we wanted it to have a dramatic effect, showing the sadness of the character, as cold and the wind aren't positive factors. We filmed all non-singing shots which allowed us to show the character wondering places to show she didn't know what she is doing with herself, she doesn't know what to do. These places could also identify where she and her boyfriend used to walk together, their favourite places and such.

 

We used different angles to give variety, we took this piece several times. Also this can also give us more footage and variety and as well as keep with the entertainment factor and showing the location in different angles and moments. 

All of the video footage won't have its original audio track with it, as the Cover track will be the only sound audible, this is a positive factor as the wind would be the only thing that would be audible within the video track being used.

While we were there we got a few ideas from the lyrics, such as "wake up to your face against the morning sun" The sun was setting at the time and so we had the camera on a over the shoulder shot, me staring in the direction of the sun, the camera zooms in on the sun over my shoulder. We had a shot of me walking away from the camera and another shot of me walking towards the camera in the same position.

As well as this we had an idea of a place along the hills, were there is a spot in which you can look over Burnley. We went there, were I sat on a bench and looked out over Burnley, and looking around, as well as another shot of me at a fence looking over Burnley in which the camera zoomed out from being zoomed in on a tree and then zooming in on Burnley.

Today was just the start of the recording for our Music Video, and we have made a good start on the progress. Although not all the footage we shoot will not be used but if we have any gaps footage that looks significant or dramatic can be used. These pieces of footage will probably be used for the significant parts of the lyrics and as well as using it for filling in gaps that we may have.
