To recap, the aim of our video is to outline and reflect upon the different stages of grief and loss. In doing this, we planned to film an elderly couple and conform to the ideologies of losing someone you love. On Saturday 27th of September we filmed with Anne and Stan, a couple who are friends of Molly.
We are so thrilled with the stunning shots we filmed, and they look beautiful in both colour and black and white. The major shots we filmed are that of Anne reflecting at the window(a medium close up), thinking of the happy times with Stan which then leads into a flashback of Anne and Stan together. The shot of Anne reflecting at the window provides perfect shadow and natural lighting. We have also included shots of the couple together, and close ups of them holding hands.
We have used a variety of close ups, medium shots and we have also used a tracking shot to show them as they walk together. The shots that have been put into black and white are representing Anne after the loss of Stan as this could represent the feeling of emptiness and sadness. However, to create a contrast between the present time and flashbacks of happier times we kept the footage of Anne and Stan together in colour, to help to represent the mood of the happy memories compared to the current time after the loss of Stan.
We feel like these pieces of footage will work well in our overall music video as we can cut back and forth between several stories of loss, this being one of them. It will also show all different kinds of people; young, old, male, female etc experiencing loss.
