EVALUATION OF DAY2:

On the second day of filming, was when we filmed the narrative side of our music video. This is when the location was set at Hannah's house.

Firstly, before shooting we took necessary preparations such as make-up adjustments, do to our already existing planning we had chosen to put stage make-up on Kingston, to give of the feel he is in a sense a ghost of her imagination and he is always haunting her.

Therefore, the following image below, is a shot of Kingston after his make-up had been added to his face. Our main focus was to smudge his eyes to make them look daunting and empty as if he is not really there emotionally anymore and feels no real emotion etc.

The following image below is a over the shoulder shot of Hannah facing the mirror, and Kingston (who at this point is meant to be a figure of her imagination being placed in mirror). In this scene Hannah is portrayed to of imagined him there because she feels as if he never leaves her side, she feels haunted by him and she just cannot get him of her mind. Due to the fact is this scene she is appeared to be applying her mascara, she bends down to look up again and see he is behind her. However, when she turns around he is no longer there. Therefore, she feels as if she cannot even do normal everyday things without her feeling as if he is there with her.

 

 

 

As you can see from the jokey image above of the two actors in the mirror, this shot was difficult to create due to the positioning of each character being able to fit in the shot. Also before Kingston comes into shot, he has to almost only take one movement, in which case he was not even in the right position anyways. Therefore, this shot take an excessive amount of time to take however, hopefully the successful shots we have got will show the technique we had in mind and was trying to portray.

 

 

The following shot above is a screen shot of the video recorded effect technique we included within our music video. This was also a fairly difficult shot to create, this is due to the positioning of the camera, the two actors held it hand held. Therefore, it was either two close or not steady enough. However, by using stabler technique on one of the macs, I feel confident this error will be smoothed out.
 

 

The image above is a screen shot from our music promo video, we used the initial idea technique of creating the shot to be styled as a video image from a camcorder that had been recording the events happening.

 However, one technique that did work well was a pan shot of an extreme close up of Hannah looking at a picture and pretending to be crying as if she is upset looking back at the memories she has had with her ex boyfriend.
