Filming performance scene (2)

We got some feedback of our first draft video from our target audience. The main area for improvement was that the performance scene was becoming a little repetitive.

To solve this, Rhian and I decided we needed a second performance scene to break it up a little and make our video more interesting. We thought that this scene should be filmed outdoors to fit in with our natural theme and make a connection with the narrative scene.

We filmed our actress sat apon a tree, we filmed her from 4 or 5 different angles and used only the best two clips in our video to create a second performance scene. The shots were close up and framed so that sophia was the focus of the shot, but that so that you could tell she was outside(ie. you could see grass and trees ect.) We used a tripod because we had used alot of handheld camera clips in performance scene (1) and it would create more variation in the technology we were using. We followed our 'casual' theme by dressing sophia appropriately in casual clothes, scarf and coat to signify the continuos theme of autum months.

It was a cold day so i really liked the effect of her cold breath being visible in the video. The filming genreally went well and after a second audience feedback, they prefered the video with two performance scenes.
