Over the weekend I reviewed the notes from my previous post and filmed some additional shots for my music video. The filming I did was fairly minimal as I had planned to film my final home movie sequence, however I was unable to do this as my older actors were suddenly unavailable. I will as a result film this sequence later this week and have plenty of work on my digipack and editing of my current footage to be getting on with.
I have filmed a bookcase at my actors home filled with pictures and memories, which is decorated with fairy lights - as well as being aesthetically pleasing the footage helps to further my narrative as it focuses on photographs of the couple when younger. The sequence is slightly low angle, wide shot which captures the flickering of the lights, before zooming in on one of the photographs.
The above image is the photograph that I zoomed in on and shows the couple about 20 years ago. I particularly liked this shot as the couple are clearly recognisable and in similar clothing to my modern day footage, moreover I feel that this will help with my narrative reflecting on the couples lives together and drawing a cross generational theme. I shot this sequence with a tripod and it has the flickering of the lights visible, lighting the picture. However, the footage has a slightly shaken effect, much like within hand held - whilst not ideal I feel that this gives a home filmed/ original/ authentic feel as if it could be a point of view shot from the couples' perspective.
The above image I have included from my timeline of filming to show the comparison of the couple, within the photograph and in a more modern setting. I will now review my footage and see where this new sequence fits, as my plan for building the narrative is not a solid storyline but rather segments and snapshots from the couples' life, as I have seen done within other artists' work such as Katy Perry's 'The One That Got Away' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahha3Cqe_fk
