Character & Location Change inc Location Shots

After spending a whole two days filming with my original cast and locations due to the majority of my footage being out of focus due to a combination of my bad eyesight an autofocusing, focusing on a different subject in the shot, Re-filming the footage was crutial. I got in touch with my original cast although they refused to take 2 days out again to refilm. Back to the drawing board it was for me, analysing the footage for me was key to find improvements to be made in take to of filming my music video. I realised the locations were random and didnt allow the 'love' and 'awkwardness' of the couple to stand out. I felt stripping locations back to basics was my only was of making the couple obvious and also create enigma without confusing the audience, my next stop was Cheshire. My parents have passes for castles over the country so I felt a location like that would be the perfect setting for establising love in a music video, simplistic yet dramatic- Beeston Castle. I did a wreccy trip on my own and thought it was perfect!




As well as this I saw a cute country pub which I though would make a nice scene for a 'date' when going in I realised the warm feel of it that could juxtapose the cold outdoor scenes again making a perfect location! This too was in Cheshire- The Nags Head

Next I thought a few country walk scenes would tie in perfectly, so no better place than The Sandstone Trail-Cheshire.



From here I found some excellent actors who agreed to act for two days on set of these locations IN FOCUS, and did a perfect job!
