FIlming the intro

The introduction to the music video shows myself and beth preparing to go out. It was very important that there was a clear distinction in mood from the flashback, compared to that of the introduction. Initially it was suggested that Myself and Beth were to be seperated throughout the introduction, however, we decided to add extra depth to the storyline by including shots that directly suggested relationship troubles.

Though the introduction is shot indoors, we wanted it to be dark when filming as we felt natural light is what identifies the flashback as the relationship feels natural. Again the filming went quickly as we simply followed the requirements of the storyboard.

Some of the more complex shots proved harder than we had origianlly expected. The establishing shot in the room that tracks along the bed prooved very hard to film. We began by using a hoover onto which we attached the camera. We hoped this would provide a smooth tracking shot however it was to hard to keep the hoover on a straight path. Therefore, we disregarded the hoover and changed to a office chair. We placed the camera on the base so it was low to the ground and then pushed it along the ground. This was far easier than the original hoover idea, ever though it was nessesary to hold the legs of the chair to prevent it rotating.
