Yesterday I went to the woods with my main actor, to film the second verse of my song. I experimented with using a tripod to pan onto my subject singing, in hope of adding visual interest and reinforcing the dark-mellow nature of the song through the use of a fluid-slow movement.
I also experimented with using a low angle shot, to capture my singer standing alone in the woods. I choose this to help represent the theme of loneliness, as I think her being the only subject in the shot represents this well.
Environment: I underestimated the amount of people that would use the woods, and as a result had to use both of my nearby woods as filming locations. When I come to edit my video I will try to put concept based shots in between the footage I took, so the different locations appear as though they were taken in the same place.

Plumtree
Emily, I really like the sepia-style shots at the start and end of your video clip with the lines across the screen adding to the vintage feel you are after. The section in the middle of the trees looks too up to date and doesn't fit in so well. It is really nice to see some of your ideas coming together though!

Experimenting with Vintage looking Film
This sample footage followed the instructions I found on the 'Gadget' website, which I listed in a vintage film blog post. The footage was filmed with on my Cannon 700D and edited in iMovie. I choose to film shots that were relevant to my storyboard; the water shot that I will use for the beginning of my video. I liked the vintage filter which I applied to the water shot, because it dulled the colours, which will help to establish the mood of my music video. I also experimented with the saturation tool, in the close up shoot of a tree, however I am hesitant to use it in my video because I think its lacks relation to the filtered-vintage video shots.
