Boot Shots

We wanted shots of the soldiers feet for the same counts. I also filmed this from different angles. I also filmed brief images of Chris's hands depicting the triad as Cathy suggested.



Rifle Drill




We wanted to encorporate a rifle drill for certain counts in the song. I filmed our soldier Chris, repeatedly doing this from different angles.

Titles

We've used quotes/titles to open our video with. As well as the quote, we've written 'Remember, head up, chin down. love Sam x' We've taken this from the end of the letter home from the soldier in a previous post I put up.
We've decided to do this to show a final message from Sam (since he dies in the video). I hope that people watching the video will understand this reference as it intensifies the message of the video.

Video Titles

30 Seconds to mars almost always start off their music videos with a quote that has something to do with the topic that the song is based on. E.g 'Beautiful Lie' has quotes and bits of information about the effect that climate change has on the ice glaciers and quotes in 'This Is War'

New Year!

It's getting closer and closer to the hand in date for our video. We've done a lot of our editing already so we're going to focusing on finishing it off. We're going to be working on our video during lunch/break times and whenever he mac suite is available. We're confident that we will complete our video on time! :)

Fire safety


Before we started filming the fire scenes of our music video we made sure to take several safety precautions, including: having a fire extinguisher on hand and a bucket of water. We also made sure that nobody got too close to the fire and informed the neighbours that we were going to have a fire in the garden.
