Pictures we took whilst shooting our music video

These show how we made shots similiar to the shots used on the video to create versimilitude.
The shot lasts for 2 seconds and is a upwards tilted medium close up which we have shot using a camera on a tripod. This image shows how we tried to recreate the shot in the music video.

This photo shows the environment in which we filmed the scene in which we see the girl walk into the shot, pushes the branch back and walks out of the shot. We tried to find the best environment which looked like the one they used in the video.

 

This is the team minus two, as they were taking the photo. it shows us trying shooting the shot.

 

This is the main character in our music video, Abbie, and shows the use of props (the blanket) which we borrowed from the health & safety department and looks very similiar to the one in the video. Her hair is in a messy ponytail, she is wearing a coat; similiar to the
girl in the video.
