Plan B

To our disappointment, the plan for filming at our friends party was a failure as the party did not turn out to be as good as we had anticipated. We had hoped that there would be a lot more chances to film people dancing and find a chance to film shots wanted for our video but elements such as lighting and the fact that no one was up for being film dancing to our dismay. Also the fact that people were accumulating outside rather than wanting to go inside the hall and dance, did not help, so we were left with no chance to obtain any ideal footage.

Instead of having filmed it at the actual party we had to change our plans about our shot lists. As a result of our failing to film in the party we are going to utilize areas on site at long road as we have "wasted" our out of college slot with the camera. We have a good area in the college where it looks and feels just like a village park. we would be able to shoot the scenes where we would have shooting town with the girl. in the area there are picnic benches that we will be able to use for the scenes where he is trying to convince her, where he is, in a sense, pleading with her to understand how he feels. If, for example, we had them both sitting on one of the benches, it could almost be as if they are having a conversation. Another option, to show the separation between the two, is that they could each be sitting on a different bench, where he could be singing the lyrics either to himself or to the camera. the video for dry your eyes by the streets is a perfect example for the shots we wish to include:

Other shots that we would like to include are certain shots where the camera is moving along with the performer, and also close ups of both the frustration of on his face and the close ups showing how unimpressed she is with what she is hearing. the majority of the shots will be filmed within the park area but also include shots within the cafe if possible, and any other places we can think of.
