2. 3:30-3:36
The nature shots shown are the shots we will be
primarily focusing on at the beginning of the
sequence. The way in which the sunlight reflects
through the plants onto the camera and close
ups of plants make us feel that this part of the
original sequence could be quite simple to
replicate and recreate. The shots are taken from
lower angles looking up and they need to be
filmed in an area surrounded by trees. The final
close up shot fades out into the next shot of
Ben Howard singing.
3. 3:37- 3:44
The next shot shows Ben Howard singing the song to the camera. The
shot comes up to his waste and the background has nature in it and so it
continues from the first shots. The shot it filmed down a long road
where no one else is walking or driving. We need to make sure that we
go to an area where there are empty fields surrounding a path which
the actor can walk down. The actor will then need to lip sing to the song
as it is played so that we can edit the shots together to make it look as
though he is singing.
4. 3:45-3:58
The next shots are of the clouds moving in the sky. The first shots
seemed to have been filmed in the morning where the lights are bright
and the sun is shining through. The clouds move around the sky at a fast
pace, this is probably done through filming the same place over the day.
The shots then go to the evening as you can see in the second picture as
the light has gone and now the colours are dark with minimal light
shining trough. We will have to get a camera and film the cloud for a lot
of the day in different angles to ensure we have enough shots to edit
together to make and accurate replicate of the original video.
5. 3:59-4:35
The next shots are quick ones flicking between close ups of Bed Howard singing and
between the continuation of the clouds moving progressing through morning to
evening. The shots need to be filmed individually so we will have a few cameras set
up at different angles to the sky to show the clouds developing through the day. We
will have to make sure that we film the shots on a cloudy day to ensure we will get
the final shots that we are after. The other shot we will have to do is again the close
up of the actor lip singing the song so that we can edit it all together. We can film the
minute long song being sung by the actor then in the editing stages we can cut what
we don’t need out.
6. 4:36-4:40
The final shot we are going to
replicate is Ben Howard
running away from the
camera down the path. This
is a 4 second shot that we are
going to do and it is very
easy. Once he stops singing
the section of the song he
turns his back and runs away.
As Ben Howard runs away
the shot becomes dimmed
and slowly fades out.
We need to make sure we have all the small
details perfected prior to shooting the shots to
ensure that we get all that is needed. We need to
make sure we film the sky shots on a day where it
is cloudy and if we are using more than one
camera to do so we need to make sure we have
them ready. We also need to make sure that we
get an actor who is confident to lip sing in front of
the camera. The clothes that Ben Howard wears
are not hare to replicate in our video as it is just
jeans and a jacket.
