Rough Draft 1

This is our first draft of our music video, we started filming some shots early so we could see what worked well and what didn't. We used a Pentax SLR camera as it was the highest quality camera to use and it produced professional looking shots. These shots were all filmed in school (science classroom and school corridor) and will be placed at the beginning of the video as it suits the lyrics "the day I first met you, you told me you'd never fall in love'' - they could have first met in a science class together and the romance began from there.
We will continue to use this camera as it was very successful and the types of shots it produced were effective. The position of Jenna and Sam is effective as the camera is tilted towards Jenna as she is the one singing and Sam is further away as he's ignoring her. I think the background is a bit distracting as it's covered in posters and tables/screens which could be distracting - we will think a lot more about the background when we next film and to have a plain background so Jenna and Sam stand out more. I did like the lighting and how we positioned them so the sun is shining on their faces. The performace shots from Jenna were also successful - the lighting complimented her and I liked the shot type (mid shot) however again we would have to think more about the background as we can see objects from outside that are distracting.
