Editing

This screenshot shows the concept based part of our video. The large image on the right shows several love-hearts with romantic messages written on them. The clips on the left show the love-hearts on the floor and falling from the letterbox. As they fall from the letterbox, we chose to repeat the clip but reverse it to create our concept based idea. The love-hearts play no part in the performance or narrative aspect of our video but still convey the idea of romance and admiration.

This screenshot shows the transition myself and Ian chose to use. It has been used between 2 shots of myself within the video and is used in order to make the music video more fluent. The blurred transition could also represent the confusion between the two characters within the video over their secretive and romantic feelings.

This medium shot was filmed by lowering the tripod to it's lowest height and placing the camera on top. The shot itself does not last long as it is only needed to establish the arrival of the girl when she gets to school.


Both myself and Ian really like this close up used here. We were worried the lighting in this location would be a hindrance as we could not control the natural sunlight. However the bright light behind Ian's head works well as it is a handheld point of view shot from the female character, revealing an almost romantic and angelic image of the boy she likes.

This screenshot shows Ian in the location where we took our pictures in order to establish where was best to film. This long shot turns into a medium shot as Ian walks towards the camera revealing him as a character more clearly.


This screenshot from our music video relates to the performance based aspect of our video. It shows a close up of Ian miming part of the song 'You, Your Cat and me'.
The reason we have chosen to hide his eyes and show his collar and tie reflects the shy personality of our character within the video. The slightly off centre position of Ian revealing the plain white background keeps the video simplistic, focusing mainly on the character and his actions
