Shoot 1- Performance
Due to the song having an upbeat tempo, it seemed only fitting that we should film somewhere in the sun. The only problem with this is that we rely on the weather. To cause the least logistical problems with the band, we thought it would be easiest to film near them. Initially we had the great opportunity to film in a warehouse belonging to the lead singer's family. However, this became problematic since there was work that would be occuring on our planned weekend and so would be quite distruptive. Hence, we decided to film in a nearby forest and in their practise studio in a bandmember's house. The only problem lay in the fact that I would have to film on my own due to work commitment, but this was mostly resolved by grabbing another pair of hands to help myself out with the shoot itself. The band's performance studio initially looked quite bare and so we bought nice looking backdrops and fairy-lights in order to make the space look more fitting for a music video.
Most importantly, we wanted to make sure that the setting was light and therefore would fit with the genre of Littlewing's music. Luckily, the woods provided a lovely setting for the light-hearted nature of the song, as well as consistantly providing the green/yellow colouring which we wanted to display throughout the music video. It was also key for us that we had good weather for this day. Without good weather, the entire music video would appear almost unconnected to the song. For example, if we were to have dull, rainy weather, it may be better suited to a song that had a saddened, deep meaning. In order for the meaning of the music video to be clear, ideally we needed sunny weather - connoting happiness.

Shoot 2 - Narrative
In order to make sure that the music video flows nicely we decided to film on national trust land or 'woodlands walk' as to appear as though the couple are on a romantic sunday walk. The colours therefore would hopefully match to the performance shoot and therefore not appear jarring.
