FILMING FOR OUR NARRATIVE SCENES

During the production of the narrative scenes on the grass and outside Josh’s house we wanted to achieve quite a summery and warm atmosphere that would go with the happy and romantic atmosphere that is taking place as well as showing the relationship between the two characters. To achieve this effect we filmed on a day with no rain and had lots of light. We also used a reflector so that the light was reflected onto Ella’s and Shqipdon’s faces. This makes them appear more prominent within the shot but also it adds to the ‘glamorous’ and romantic atmosphere that occurs in most music video that follow the typical girl and boy narrative. We also considered that on the day of filming there may not be enough light and so we thought we would be able to film and then edit it ‘Final Cut Pro’ with the three-way colour corrector so that the shots appear more summery and romantic and this would contrast the shots where Shqipdon is on his own and also in the performance shots.
