Originally we thought that filming day 1 went really well; however, we came away with nowhere near enough footage for the whole video. We liked the idea of using the outdoors as we found it to be a generic convention of our genre. For example, 'The Girl' by City and Colour...and 'Old Pine' by Ben Howard. The setting is naturalistic and down to earth which is what the indie genre is all about.
I liked the idea of having him sit on the bench as it connotes loneliness, however, we struggled to think of way to bulk the video out as we didn't just want him to be sat down throughout the whole video.
We made sure we shot a variety of close ups as that was an important generic convention. However, it wasn't as effective in the narrative as he is not lip synching.
The lighting was too low key; therefore, we decided not to you this footage as you can't see the emotion on his face.
