Shooting Risk Assessment

Rosie and myself filled out the following risk assessment sheets before we shot in the desired locations in which we chose. 

Storyboard

Order of shots

This is a basic order of shots for the narrative part of our music video:

• Walking down the drive
• Walking into the house, greeting wife
• Window shot (over the shoulder)
• Window shot (from outside, looking into the window)... wife is lipsyncing
• Different window... husband getting into the car
• Plate scene, 2 shots - Slow motion the plate dropping, sped up shot of plate smashing on floor
• Husband in the car... pulls up outside another house
• Before the argument... going back in time they are sitting on the sofa hugging etc
• On the sofa together, they're legs are dangling  

Change of Idea

After looking through previous music videos and realising that teenager's acting like adults does not look very professional, and looks like a typical school made music video. We have decided upon a an extreme idea... using two young children to play the married couple part, we thought this would be different, cute and interesting! Rosie and myself have already sorted out who we will be using in the video, Rachel and David, both very young looking year 8 students who are extremely enthusiastic about the role they will be playing in our music video!

Realising how difficult it would be to get the children to do exactly what we wanted them to do would of been extremely hard, also trying to get the girl and boy to show chemistry and emotion towards each other would not visually look very convincing. So... Rosie and myself decided we would go back to our original idea of using James, but instead of somebody else, we would use Rosie as the wife, both drama students. Therefore we could make it look as realistic as possible and the outcome would be exactly how we want it to!
