Main Task - Production - Shoot 2 (Narrative)

For the narrative shoot, things were perhaps more simple. Again, we were lucky to have good weather since we go up so early. In fact, we were a little too early since the National Trust ground was not even open when we arrived. Finding a date to film this section was a little easier than it had been organising with the band since, firstly, our cast and production live locally and secondly, there was only three of us. In reality, we did not initially plan to film a second shoot since we though that just the performance would be enough. However, as we came to start editing we realised that there was something missing and the video was becoming a bit repetitive with just the performance. In particular, there is a particular bit in the song where the tempo drops, which nothing seemed to fit. Funnily, in our initial stages of planning we thought abounding an entirely narrative music video however, we though it would be too much. In this way, we already had a narrative we wanted to construct and so planning a second shoot was much easier in short notice.

Once we arrived at the 'Woodland Walk', we walked for a good hour until we were happy with the spot to shoot. I think the reason this took so long was because we walked the long was around, since on our walk back, it seemed to take only 15-20 minutes. As we had visualised, we found a set of wooden stairs which we thought would be the perfect romantic setting for the narrative we were trying to contract, of a young happy couple. Shooting overall was rather easy, the location really just spoke for itself. The only really annoying thing was the fact that the sun decided to go in half way through shooting and in turn cast a gloom over the yellow, fallen leaves. Luckily by this time we had got most of the key shots that we wanted to use.
