First day of fiming

Today we had our first filming session.
It lasted 40mins and we managed to get around about 1min of footage.
We made a set for our first shot by scrapping away leaves in front of the sofa for a less distracting scene. (Better and cleaner Mise en Scene)

Here in the image you can see that we did have to take up some other peoples time in order to set up and film as quickly and as productively as possible. Isaac here was helping us rake up leaves along with Luke (not in image)

 

Once we had piles the leaves onto both sides of the set ready to be thrown we had a clean shot ready to be filmed of the sofa with background full off Autumn colours of brown leaves and green grass with a little bit of Grayish blue skyline. 

We then filmed and experimented with how we wanted the leaves to move into the shot and interact with the subject sitting on the Sofa, which in this case was Tom Joyce who at the time was wearing brown/black and warm looking clothing to fit the scene.

This clip shows one of our experiments with the way we wanted he leaves to enter the frame.
Overtime the leaves would pile up on the floor giving this particular scene a sense of time as with each time we include this location in the music video the more leaves appear.

In this clip we had the leaves enter the frame with one actor dropping them onto the others head in slow motion for a longer shot and also to add a calmer pace to the video if need to be. For example when the music slows down or becomes quieter.
