Production Diary - 06/02/15

After reviewing my music video, I received feedback from my class teacher.  He suggested I should perhaps stabilise some parts of my footage, in particular the piano scene and towards the end of the video as the two narrative characters are shown to walk away holding hands. He also suggested I should use more cutaways as the scenes of Aaron singing are far too long.

Following my next draft, I will divide this footage up by including more narrative shots of my characters in between and do another shoot in the studio which I will film Aaron from a variety of different angles and compositions according to the rule of thirds – to make my video seem more interesting. My teacher also gave me feedback on how to utilise jump cuts, he suggested I should include jump cuts at the beginning of my video as I plan to film an establishing shot of the house as this is where the majority of the narrative story takes places. He also said I should perhaps re-shoot the end scene of my video of the two characters walking away and enforce jump cuts but from zoom to far away to create an ideal of opposites. I will now take onboard these comments and schedule a day to shoot with my main actor Aaron as well as with Victor and Sam.
