This image was taken just outside of my school and is always very quiet during lesson time, allowing me and Ian to film without interruption. When we filmed here we found the sunlight to be fairly tricky, posing risk of revealing shadows of the camera and tripod we were using in order to film. However, we overcame this by finding the right angles and were able to film a shot of Ian walking towards the camera which will be interpreted as him walking towards me within the video. I find this location to really add to the video as the sunlight adds a certain innocence, reflecting the romantic, teenage tone of the video and music. The quiet setting also exaggerates the two characters being alone together, emphasising their secret longing for each other.
Here is another shot taken of the same path shown above,with Ian in the foreground. This shot is a perfect shot to show the two characters have minor interaction with each other in a peaceful setting. The sunlight was again a factor that caused issue whilst trying to avoid casting shadows of our equipment. Me and Ian also felt pressured due to timing, as lessons were due to finish whilst we were still filming, making us feel slightly rushed, however we ensured that we achieved the shots we wanted without disturbing the quality.
This is a shot of my car which we filmed for part of our video. The car plays the role of allowing the audience to establish how the character (me) travels to school, in order to keep the video coherent and narrative based. I believe the car to be a signifier of how the girl in the music video has an element of control over the boy, making him smitten and obviously in love, whilst she remains fairly dominant. Within this picture it is clear that our shadows were reflecting against the car. To overcome this when filming, we used a variety of angles with the camera so that our shadows could not be seen.
