Filming - Day 3

During the third day of filming we decided to film the final scenes of the male character, here we had to do the inside shots as well as the few outside. The first few shots of the music video show the male character getting ready for work, for this we needed to have a plain setting in order to reflect the male character. Initially we found it difficult to find a location which would relate to the male character however eventually found a suitable setting.

The bedroom was plain and lacking in decoration which was perfect for the shots as it showed a clear image of the type of lifestyle the male character has and suggests the effect the woman will possibly have on him during the song.

These shots are of the male getting ready in the bathroom, once again the bathroom was plain white which was a perfect setting as it suggests the simple life that the male character usually has. We did have a few problems while filming these shots as the bathroom was small however this was solved by using many high angled shots which helped create tension and suspense as well as show how the woman is playing with the man's mind as well as gradually gaining control over the male character.

The outside shots show the male character becoming stressed and the setting reflects this. The chosen setting shows a contrast to the male characters normal setting which is usual clean and tidy whereas this setting is messy and dark. This shot in particular uses a very high angled shot with a lot of empty space around him, highlighting the male character's feeling of isolation and detachment from the real world, showing that the female character has completely gained control of the man's mind.
