In our third shooting session on 18/10/12, we primarily recorded supporting shots for the video - this contained shots of the crossroads by our school (CNS - City of Norwich School) - this shot will be sped up when we edit, to create the visually appealing effect of the cars and the changing traffic lights flashing past in a blur. We did this shot in several different ways, with tilts, shots containing the main character, and more.
When shooting, we noticed that we could get up a hill to a path next to a train track - while it took up a lot of time (we had to wait for three trains - which were about 20 minutes apart), we managed to shoot some very striking shots of the boy walking with the train in the background. We used the time in between trains to shoot extra shots in that location, where there was a very useful vanishing point. The shots of the train in the background connote life going against or with him, depending on the direction the train is travelling respective to the main character. This can be used to further emphasize the sense of progression we are trying to create in our music video.
We uploaded the footage in 360p instead of the standard 720p so that it would upload faster. That is why the shots look blurry and unfocused - they will look a lot better in the final music video.
As YouTube only accepts up to 15 minutes of footage for new and/or usually inactive channels, we have had to upload the footage from our third shooting session in two parts:
