Rejected Shots.




Clip One.
The first shot shows Reece, looking down, there were a lot of shots like this, because as I was filming, I was stood quite far away so it was hard to judge when he was about to go. The second shot where you can see he is wafting his hand, there were people at the park that wanted to go across and they asked him if they wouldn't disturb the filming. Sometimes Reece got a bit smiley and would laugh, as I think he found it hard to try pretend that the camera isn't there. When Reece put his thumbs up this was a signal to me that he was about to start. All these I cut out as this was relevant to my music video. The next shot where Reece is fixing his bike, this was an accident as we was filming, Reece broke the chain whilst riding the bike. I was thinking of maybe adding in my music video to create a comical effect that his bike had broken, but it didn't look right. And finally, there was a man at the back of Reece while we was about to shoot, Reece didn't realise the man was behind him and the man didn't realise we was filming, I rejected this shot as the man from behind takes away the main focus of Reece. 

Clip Two. 
Clip two shows the band playing there instruments, although I included most of this footage, there were some I didn't. Firstly, the band are just sat on the rocks and they aren't playing the instruments as they are waiting for the music to play in order for them to start singing along with the music. And the next shot shows the band playing then they finish the bit they were to film, so they stop playing there instruments. If the band are just sat there not playing, it doesn't give a realistic feel that they are an actual band, but by making them play, it looks more realistic. 

Clip Three. 
This was when I filmed the start of the narrative, here I have not realised I have pressed the record button, so the camera is pointing at the floor. When the shot then cuts to Sonal, you can see the camera hasn't focused properly. The next shot in the clip is pointing to the floor again, here I was directing Sonal where to stand, and again didn't notice I had pressed the record button too early. 

Clip Four. 
This clip is a whole shot I took of Sonal ordering a drink from the bar, I asked the bar member If I could film and he was fine with it. Unfortunately I didn't use any of these shots as it looked strange as there wasn't a wide range of shots, it was just the shot in the same place. But also, it would be nice if Reece would of brought her the drink, but because of Reece being under-age we didn't want to risk to be turned away. If I was to do this shot again, I would of made Reece by the drink and used a shot reverse shot to show the bar tender making the drink and Reece buying the drink. I would also done, an extreme close up of the man putting the lemon aid in the drink, or Reece giving his money to the man. Also because I didn't have the large tripod, this shot was hand held, making it hard to keep the camera steady. 

Clip Five.
This shot was taking from a different point of view of the couple sat on the sofa, It shows Sonal getting up and walking away, but then she turns around and smiles whilst she waves goodbye. I liked the angle of this shot, although the actors didn't look serious enough, and the wave didn't look realistic, as you wouldn't wave to someone if your going to the toilet. 

Clip Six. 
I really like this shot of looking at the actress through the mirror, this shot was meant to show her looking in the mirror and looking sorrowful as she wants to break up with Reece. I told her to pretend that she was washing her hands and looking through the mirror, but this shot was too long. And when she went to dry her hands there was nothing that related to this. Then when there is an close up on her texting, there is a crack in the mirror, which just distracts the eye from what the camera is ment to be focusing on. 

Clip Seven. 
At the start of clip seven, we were figuring out how we were going to go the hand held, shot following sonal, this would fit in where the lyric's say, "walk away." I was going to film this hand held camera but then when Reece held the camer it was easier to have a match on match action with the back of sonals head, as he is alot taller. The final shot is when we have finished doing the hand held shot, sonal has walking of the door and I must of accidently left the camera on. 

Clip Eight. 
This was the last shot on the second day of filming. This was when we was in the bus station, I planned to film about 10minutes and betime I've sped it up it will be enough time in the music video. I set up the camera by putting the mini tripos and wrapping round the arm of the chair I warned Sonal and Reece that it would take this long, so in this shot, sonal went to get her phone out of her bag. I wouldn't use this shot as it again takes the focus away from Reece.
