Task 6: Shooting at Hyde Park day 3

Checking the focus and lighting

We changed our park location of Hollow Ponds to Hyde Park as the setting was easier to use and it wasn't as busy. We also think the location is better and there is more space that we were allowed to use.

We have completed all of our shoots and are ready to select the good shots and start working on them for the editing task.

Task 6: House shooting day 2

Couple's break up scene

Watching over the clips

For our second shooting we took mainly the house scenes and have achieved some good shots that we have reviewed and are happy with. We don't need to re shoot these scenes and so have worked up to our individual roles as a team.

Task 6: Music video shooting - Day 1 practice

Today our first shooting took place at Zeynep's house and a park on the same street as the house. We considered these shoots as our practice shoots as we wanted to test out our locations with the camera and see if anything needs to improved for the actual filming and what kind of things are required that we need to consider. 

We realised that these practice shoots helped us, as our actors were more comfortable by the end of it, and watching back we realised that we need to take more care with how focused the camera is when shooting and how the lighting should be.

Task 5: Pre Production: Lyric analysis

Lyric analysis

1. Couple’s first meeting, walking past each other and he stops her, takes her number and then magazines shown 

2. Looking through pictures (physical and electronic)

I'll stack these magazines in the corner
After I'm done with them
And I still got the same hope that I started with
That you'll be in one of them

 My camera shed some tears since you left him
With nothing, with nothing

3. Flashback to happy memories (shown)

 How am I supposed to remember?
I got the memories
But memories fade, baby

4. Studio scenes - What am I gonna show to my kids, girl?
   When I'm older, and my mind is telling me to forget you
   What's gonna make me remember?

5. Takes a lot of pictures in different locations - That's why I was always taking pictures, pictures
   Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing, miss a thing

6. Argument, then girl packs up straight after
   Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures
   When you knew they were all that I had left - nothing left

7. Walking by himself in the streets  They were part of our history, this story
   I was always taking pictures
   Cause I didn't wanna miss you so bad, miss you this bad
   Miss you so bad, miss you so

We didn't make love
We celebrated its invention
Confetti on the mattress – I used to have those images

8. Burns photos - Tonight I came home they were just embers in the fire
   Along with my hard drive, no, no, slow goodbye

9. Guy should be looking in the mirror -
   How the hell am I supposed to remember?
   Tell me now, have the memories
   But memories don't last...
   What am I gonna show to my kids, baby?
   When I'm older, and my mind's telling me to forget you
   What's gonna make me remember?

10. More pictures being taken - That's why I was always taking pictures, pictures
    Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing, miss a thing
    Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures
    When you knew they were all that I had left – nothing left
    They were part of our history, this story
    I was always taking pictures
    Cause I didn't wanna miss you

11. Studio scene – he sings to her
    No videos, no polaroid
    No record of the love we had

12. He picks up camera, girl no longer there, his face drops looks down
    My Nikon wasn't fast enough
    To catch my heart break in half

13. Empty frames
    No smiles on my picture frame, no
    Just got them little basic ones that the pictures frames come with
    Model, wedding picture, you know

14. More flashback, throws pictures on to the table looking distraught, it then focuses on a specific image and presents a flashback from that moment.
    That's why I was always taking pictures, pictures
    Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing, miss a thing
    Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures?
    When you knew they were all that I had left – nothing left
    They were part of our history, this story
    I was always taking pictures

15. Rewinding back to the past presenting the old memories (taking pictures) all the back to the first time they met – they walk past each other. Girl carries on walking. Boy stops for a second looks at her then turns back to the camera and sings the last part towards the camera.-
    
    Cause I didn't wanna miss you so bad, miss you this bad
    Miss you so bad, miss you so...
    
    
16. Piano part – boy plays piano, and as they walk away, the camera fixates on the torn apart picture that is left on the floor.
