Rough roughcut

this is the rough cut, we still need to add the narrative.

Test shots

we decided to do some tests of some of the shots we are planning to use in our video, for practice and to see the effects of them.

we have included panning, shots from above from the point of view of the girl in her bedroom and various shots of the band (not in point of view)

we have edited some of the shots for instance the running shots where we planned to slow down the footage. we have chosen 3 different speeds and shown them in the test, along with the original speed. we decided we will use the middle speed which is 50% instead of 100%.

the most difficult to shoot was the end shot where the camera pans around the subject in a circular motion. in the video it will be used mainly for the band in the forest. we tried different speeds for this also because we want the footage sped up to keep in pace with the music. we have included the sped up shots where we used 300% and one with 350% but also the original speed to show how we filmed it.
