The following extracts from the film gave me lots of ideas for shots and linking scenes together.
In the few couple of shots I loved the way the video starts with a long shot of a scene of the beach and introduces the woman playing the piano after this is established with a medium paced pan angled from behind her.
I loved the shadow effect used here too. I will need to find out how to do this in the editing stage as I really want to use this effect.
This high angled shot is very striking with a beautiful dress spread out on the floor with clever lighting.
An editing effect in this video shows the woman closing her eyes and quick shots of black and white images. We can guess that these are her memories or flashbacks she is having. This is a very clever technique that would interest the viewer and is appropriate for my music video.
The clip includes closeups and extreme close ups to identify the emotion of the woman as shown below. I also loved the extreme close up of the woman fingers at the very end.
Double tracking
I realized while watching clips from The Piano that the music is pre-recorded before adding it to the film in the editing stage. I have also chosen to do this as it will make the editing a lot easier to play around with and I can just mime on the piano as you will not see me playing all the time.
The follow shots are from 'The Scent of Love'.
This particularly interesting shot of the piano hammers caught my eye. It would be a useful shot to fill up time.
I will be sure to include long shots of a landscape like this one, perhaps including me walking in the distance too.
I really like this clever shot of the womans feet with the sea water swirling around them. I will need to think up a few effective shots like these to make my video interesting and have variety.
