Filming session 10/02/14 Evaluation part 1 (micro)

Today I had just the odd scenes missing in the house. These were the final steps to completing my music videos. The lyrics I shot today are below:

(1:50-1:55)
It's tirin', tirin"

(2nd Chorus)
(2:00-2:05)
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
(2:07-2:10)
Her minds like a diamond
(2:15-2:24)
Like lightning, whoa, like lightning

Props

  • Vodka- I wanted the vodka bottle to be held in her hand for the first lyric shown above. I wanted to show that she is dependent on alcohol and when shes on her own she is always drinking. Emphasising she is an alcoholic.  
  • Wine Glass- Typical alcoholic glass but the fact that it has vodka in it not wine is ironic. Wine symbolizes a drink you have for celebrations or socializing. This is her not celebrating or socializing, just drinking to try and forget everything. Wine glass also emphasises its alcohol in it.
  • Water- Instead i replaced the vodka for water. I obviously couldn't have my actress drinking straight vodka as this could lead to health complications and her getting drunk on the shoot. 
  • Old pictures- The old pictures are to represent her when she was younger shwoing her looking back on her life. This smiles indicate she had a happy childhood because she has nothing to worry about whereas the age shes at and the generation we live in there is a lot for young teenagers to worry about like alcohol, drug abuse etc. 
Costume
For the happy scenes I put her in a white top to connote hope, purity, innocence etc. This is to again remind the audience she is in a happy form at this point, i carried on the natural makeup look with her for this part. For the part where she is drinking alcohol i put her in a black bed top.This contrasts with the white for the next few shots again reminding the audience that this is her bad form. I made it look like she was ready for bed because the 2nd shot shows her passed out on the bed.

Mise en Scene
  The location for both these shots were set in the house. For the bad aspect of her drinking alcohol it has all been kept and filmed inside the house because its meant to represent her 'behind closed doors'. However I also put the happy scene in the house too, to show that she can have happy moments to her self and she is still normal because everyone should feel comfortable and happy in their home at some point. I also put them both in the kitchen to show a link of the same place but different mood of the character.

Post production
For the post production I cut the clips to the right length for each scene. I also kept the same continuity of the effects throughout of the aged film and 50's tv for the negative scenes and then just aged film for the happy scenes. I  used the fade tool again too.
What would I rethink about?
If I was to re-plan this i would change the second scene of her happy side into something else. I don't quite like it and i think it just looks quite messy and has know narrative to it like the others it doesn't really link.
