The Filming Begins

The Start of our filming basically consisted of us matching up our locations to the story boards. We started off by gaining a few panning shots in order to establish the location we did this by carrying out a few panning shots and still long shots of the under pass.










This was then followed by a shot of the car arriving a the underpass we used a mixture of inerior and exterior shots to establish where the music is coming from.
We then used a range of shots to show the man hearing the song and then start tapping to the beat.


















We took a couple of shots to show him hearing the song and we felt that the shots that showed him most getting into it was a close up of his feet tapping, his fingers tapping and him playing his air piano. As he starts to sing we then went into different shots such as using long, close and wide angle shots.













We also used panning shots as he roamed around the underpass, we decided to use and POV (Point of view) shot of the man spinning around has he goes into his imagination.
After a blurry POV image of the man spinning around we then cut into the man’s imagination, we then use a mid shot of the audience cheering and clapping.
















We then use a mid spotlighted spot of the man singing on his imaginary stage. We then used a series of shots such as close ups of the audience and side shots of the man singing into the microphone.













As the song continues to the line ‘Street lights People looking down the bulivards’ we use a moving panning shot into a close up to show the audiences focus on him. This is an affective shot but was hard to achieve whilst trying to keep the camera steady.














We then use a panning shot of the audience clapping along to the guitar solo. This then goes into a couple of low angle shots that we use to show his emotion as he carrys on singing as the audience go wild cheering and clapping.
















As we get to the line ‘Hold on’ we then use a low side angle shot as he jumps of the stage back in to reality as his little dream ends.

We then use a low shot of his feet landing into his reality back in the underpass. We then use a close up to show his disappointment of finding himself back in the underpass.














Shortly followed by a panning shot of him walking out of the underpass, we then use a shot of him walking down a road. He then jobs his beer can and we follow it with a low shot as it rolls into the gutter.

The last shot as the song ends is the man walking down a long road into the sunset this symbolises the end of the song.
