Filming session 07/02/14 1st part Evaluation Part 1 (micro)

Today's filming session was only to film a little bit in my friends car for the first appearance of the chorus. This is representing her happy side again. The reason I did it in a moving car was to show her that when she is in her positive life she is moving a long in her life beneficially whereas when she is in the negative side she isn't  this is reinforced by the still shots. The lyrics are shown below:

(0:52-0:57)
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes

(1:07-1:16)
Like lightning, whoa, like lightning


These are the shots from my story board I began filming today..

PUT STORY BOARD IMAGES

Props
  • Car-  this is for my actress to be sat moving along in.
Costume
I kept the natural look again to highlight the same points i have already mentioned in previous posts. However I put my actress in a fur jacket. Fur represents wealth and glamour, it gives off positive denotations which is what i want to create, a positive vibe, to again reinforce the positive lifestyle.It also shows 2 very different looks between 2 very different lifes.
Mise en scene
The road driving resembled the girl moving on with her life in her happy side whereas the negative side shes not which is reinforced by still shots. Also again it is highlighting like the previous posts the idea of nature.
Post Production
After filming I added the clips to the rest of my video. The effects I added to this was just the aged film to keep with the continuity of colorful shots to represent her happy side. I also added a slow motion effect for the second line 'like lightning, whoa, like lightning' because the bit I had filmed wasn't long enough for the shot. I also liked the idea of the slow motion because it showed the characters smile more boldly. 

What would I rethink about?
If i was to do it again I would maybe make my actress's hair style a bit more glamorous because i looks quite plain. Whereas a lot of Lana Del Rey videos she has made a big effort with her hair.
