Fairylights in Trees

I haven't taken too many screen shots from this scene, due to bad quality.

 I am annoyed that the picture has come out so grainy, however this is down to the camera, it is not one which is targeted at filming in settings as dark as this, also during the time of filming it was hard to create the correct amount of lighting as in the dark it looked better with less, while when transferring to the computer those which has the lighting score directly on the two characters seems clearer.

During filming I had another member of the band there to help with lighting, he was never in shot but to ensure I could control the camera I instructed him to use various torches and lights to help make Peter and Wendy more visible on screen, these were the ones which turned out to be better.

Glow in the dark jars

Two shot of Peter and Wendy sat surrounded by the jars, this helps to show the setting and shows the glowing jars really well.
This scene was very hard to create due to the low light, the glow sticks didn't produce enough light to show up well on camera first, after lowering the main light and using a small source of light to highlight Peter and Wendy I managed to make the shot reasonably visible.

T4o ensure the lighted reflected around the room the best to their ability I covered all the surfaces and floor with white blankets and throws.
Also to make the shot more interesting I used different sized tables and boxes to create varied heights and levels to set the jars on making the shot more appealing.

Close ups of each character to help gain an even amount of close ups in each scene.

In the clip to the left I have used the lighting behind Peter, this creates an almost silhouette effect.

I like the use of blue lighting typically in the shots to the right and above, I think it makes the scene feel more unique and allows the audience to see them clearer dispite being set in the dark. Also darker shades of blue are often related and linked with night time and darker settings.

Blanket fort

 The two images on the right show some different angles and positions I have used while filming, both of which I have used close up two shots to capture both characters in shot but to an extent where you can clearly see both of them.

By using this throughout the filming it helps create an even spread of camera attention and doesn't single out one character above the other. This is key as I don't want the artist to appear as though he is better than the audience/other characters in the video.

 I am unsure if I will use this shot, I have captured a close mid shot of Peter in Wendy's arms, however this does help break the stereotypically image of couples, usually it is the female laying on male, by doing this helps to show the alternative element and how they aren't afraid to break conventions.

I have used two different camera shots of the scene where Peter gives Wendy the acorn necklace.

The first is an over the shoulder of the necklace from Wendy's perspective, the second is an extreme close up of just the necklace, this is a good time to show the audience clearly what the necklace is- the element of being an acorn may not be clear in other shots.

 The image to the right shows Peter and Wendy laying down, I have used a close up shot her to emphasise on the close intimacy of the couple.

In this shot it is also a good time to draw focus to the necklace again, as in many of the other further shots you will not be able to see it.

Finally I captured some clips of the lights and cushions around the pair, I have used some pull focus techniques to give the clip something more interesting and different. These clips will help to break the high level of people based shots, even the performance scene used to break up neverland shots will have Peter and the band therefore these will help even out this.

Balloons inside

The the left shows a close up I have captured of both Peter and Wendy. Makes the audience feel closer to the artist and easier to relate and identify emotions.

During the shots of the balloons falling around them i have used a medium two shot to keep both characters in frame and enable the audience to see more of what is happening around them (balloons) than if i were to use a close up shot.

Over the shoulder of Peter to diverse the shots while keeping ther surroundings and both characters in shot.
Easier and more focused view of Peter as he lip syncs the lyrics, helps to fovus the attention on the lyrics as well.

Holi Powder

Above and to the right show various close up shots of the two characters, I used this camera framing to focus on the reaction of their character as they get hit to show the element of fun.This also makes the scene more personal for the audience and more engaging.

Silhouette effect used and a low angle shot to emphasizes this, Peter and Wendy throwing the powder at each other, I also did a similar shot where it shows the two hugging in the same camera effects however a close up.

This shot I used a selective colour on the red and yellow powder, it really gives a unique element to the scene and makes it more interesting.

Above and to the right shows the two fight, I have used a two shot to frame both of the characters and helps to establish the scene.

The shot to the right shows a medium close up shot of Wendy as Peter throws Holi powder over her. The camera is face on to enable a clear identification of Wendy's emotions,

 

Balloons in woods

Different angles help to make the scene more interesting and make up for the lack of camera movement. Over the shoulder on Wendy focuses the attention on her keeping a balanced amount of shots of Peter the focus artist.

Wide two shot of the characters surrounded by the multi coloured balloons; audience can establish the scene, balloons hanging from tress are visible here as well which helps to make the scene look different to portray the Neverland setting.

Close ups of the character help again to identify emotions and focus in on the main artist Peter,  the slightly over the shoudler to the left helps this aswell. As he is the main member of the band this helps to remain this focus.

Shot of just the balloons in the tress, this helps to break up the very heavy people based shots, even the performance scene has many shots focused around an artist/character this helps to break this up and even it out.

Waking in Neverland

Close up birds eye view shot, this is to match the previous shot from the "real world" as they close they eyes to give a smooth transition between scenes. If they do not match exactly I may insert a performance clip to help gain a smoother change.

Mid shot of Peter and Wendy surrounded by the tall grass enables a softer change between the laying down and other close ups.

The mid shot allows the viewer to get a real sense of the surrounding and establish the scene while keeping the characters clear. 

Close ups of the two talking/laughing, shown to be very happy and positive; these closer shots help to engage the audience and create a closer ond with the artist.

Over the shoulder view of Wendy engages the audience and makes it feel more as if they are in the scene as well. this helps to develop the close bond to the artist and doesn't make him feel superior, more or a relatible character.

Close mid shots of the two walking through the grass helps to get a feel for how tall the grass is, and how extraordinary the setting is.

Similar framing (mid shot- two shot) to keep these effects, while keeping artist clear. the use of framing the shot with the out of focus grass makes the setting feel very wild and overgrown - this also give a bit of diversity to the shots and if something different to break up the scene.
