NW - Shot ideas from "For The First Time" by The Script

The overlay used in this shot would be useful when our male and female characters are apart as it will show both of there emotions in one shot and will link the two of them creating the juxtapostion of bright colours and meloncholic feelings.

The ghosting used in this shot may be useful to show memories as it creates a hazy feel and some sort of half remembering or dreaming of better times when the characters where together. This will also show how we can use editing to show mood in a quite overt way rather then just the changes in saturation and RGB levels.

I like how the black and white shots are used for the preformance shots in the studio and hope to replicate this in our video. I think that the use of spot lights and only picking out small parts of the performance in a studio like this really adds a deeper feel and creates a very clear divide between the narrative and the performance. Furthermore shooting in the studio will allow us to experiment with a very precise use of lighting as it will allow us to control the light to a very high degree, which is not easy with our shots that we did on location in camber sands.
The use of shadow created by the neck of the guitar in this shot will be very useful if we try to replicate it in the slower parts of this song or at the begining as it is just an amazing looking shot, with the siloette created by the guitarist and the guitar.
