The following table gives a little detail about the different shot types, shot positioning and any other relevent information. This table will prove itself useful when we start our filming process because its a written explanation of what we will need (props/costumes) to aquire before we start the filming so that we're not delayed or postpone the next stage of our production.
The first collumn (labelled 'Shot No') gives an idea of the order of the shots. One being the first shot used at the begining of the video, and 40 being the final shot used at the end of the track. Each number establishes the shot frame used and the purpose of the shot. In the last collumn there is also an option of Location One and Location Two.
Location One is set in the Henry Morris Hall at Sawston Village College. In this location we will be performing the song to the camera and the footage captured will be distributed throughout the video, so that there is variation with the video. The costumes will be different in each location so that in the final cut of the entire video, our costumes will alternate and show off different fashion icons. This is a very conventional technique of an alternative rock music video as the artists like to look their best and show that they look good in different clothes. In the first location there are the obvious props that haven't been mentioned on the Shot List, such as musical instruments. The drum kit will be booked along with the stage and lighting rig, however the other instruments will be brought in by the other members of the group. We hope not to use any audio cables on stage, this makes the artists movement less restricted and also they're unncessesary due to the fact that we're not aiming to broadcast the music, simply mime it. Although, a few cables might be placed around the area or plugged into the instruments to give the impression that this footage was taken at a live performance.
Location Two is very different and much more vague. It will be around Cambridge and where ever we find members of the public willing to dance for the camera. Some decided places will be the Granchester river and Jesus Green/Midsummer Common where a bench is available to shoot the scene between two lovers. These green areas are shown below.
Midsummer Common
Jesus GreenOther locations include 'The Garage' and 'The Skate Park', these are not mentioned because we are still investigating their availability and producing ideas for shot techniques that could be used at these places.
