about half way into the medium shot. This would be blending both shots together , this was one of the funnest experiences I've had with filming and both me and James had the chance to Co direct and Co direct of photography. For this project to me it wasn't just about the editing but about the cinematography. I mainly focused on getting the best shots that I could get, since using natural lighting we had to wait for the magic hour. This is when the lighting makes everything just perfect. One of my favorite things about getting shooting this music video is we really get to explore the full power of editing in advid we went over some newer tools. Paul should us some useful shortcut tricks in class today inside of using the mouse he should us how to use the keyboard.
For the theme of this music video I wanted to some true emotion considering there is no dialogue as a director I tried my best to bring together this cohesive story. I made sure to watch some of Astrid's other music videos and originally I was going to pick the song it hurts so good. I thought that this was going to be the one but then as I started listening to more of her music I found that
Dom and Ciena would be perfect for the roles. I know for the girl role I wanted cute and quirky along with a little bit of hipster, what this meant is I needed a girl with glasses , flannel ,and a beanie , the only person to fill this role was Ciena. Then I knew I needed to find a male role somebody that was athletic but also still small in frame to show that they two were vulnerable to heartbreak. I watched the music video for Hurt So Good over , over ,and over again just so that I could capture that emotion that she brought on camera and bring this to mine.
In my mind I already knew some of the shots that I was going to get like shoe shoots . I thought that these were great ways to portray emotion for Ciena character, I have always felt that you can
they go completely through with this they don't. For Ciena character I was going for a fragile woman with a broken heart , lets face it we all know how it
can agree that we lay in bed listening music really loud and go on walks and trying to but also not wanting to forget the past we shared with that individual. I think this is important considering we are trying to completely capture just emotion in this video. I gave the actors creative freedom for how they think the characters the way they feel best. The main point of Ciena character is she is trying to do what we all do after a break up and that's dealing with until we heal and mend. At
