Recce Shots

This page consists of recce shots, they are images of the location that we will film within. These will help us through the planning process of our music video and will enable us to produce more ideas. Moreover it allows to look, in detail, at what the location has to offer, things we may not have noticed whilst taking the images. As you can see, the location gives off a dark, gloomy vibe and I think it is the perfect match to go with our song, as it too gives off the same vibe; they certainly compromise with each other. Also, this means that it well work well hand in hand with the narrative, making the music video cohesive with the conventions.

This picture shows a damaged part of the house which looks ruined, messy and decayed, this is perfect for our video as the location and every picture represents her emotion in the song, ironically the pictures match the song perfectly.

This is just another shot of a room which again is showing ruin, we will use low key lighting in the editing process to show a dark gothic tone.  Also the emptiness of the room is symbolic of her broken heart.

We took a picture of this long kind of corridor to emphasise her struggle now she is heartbroken and could show how long it will take for her to recover. Everything we see in the frame suits the song and also looks imaginative and different.

This wrecked doorway looks quite old fashioned so we thought if we aded low key lighting and have Emily walk through it, it will create a old gothic look, again everything has been vandalised which finishes the overall look we want for the video.

We thought we would create the video on different locations of the house, this photo is from outside. it does look a little bit more brighter and by looking at it has happy positive connotations although being ruined.

This is more or less the same picture, we though throughout the video we could use the same locations area and switch the angle when the lyrics have a turning point - you could say they change in angle represents a juxtaposition in the lyrics., as we know in the song Amy sings about her heart being broken and how she can't cope but knows her being alone will stop the metaphorical pain.

I liked this picture because i thought that the red walls and red door could metaphorically show her heart, i think it is effective when the location has a hidden meaning.

The graffiti shown on the wall here looks effective, also if it's windy on the day we film, the leaves and other things around this part will move creating a ghostly effect.

As we walked round our locations we found variou rooms, they all loked particularly similar but also quite different, the detail on the wall and the decay on the floor made this room look old  evolving and ruined.

We particularly liked this room as it was more secluded and when we looked inside it made us feel a certain way because of how dark, mysterious and unique it was. Most of the rooms had flashes of red/white in them whereas this room was just blacks and greys.

As a group we decided we liked this balcony and the barricaded window, this could show how she is trapped maybe and emphasise her aloneness.

This establishing shot shoes a side view of the house, in the dark this is a scary locations which will really help tell our narrative and also because it's an old house it portrays typical gothic/horror genres.
