Before filming the majority of my video, I needed to get some props together and also I needed to think about what costume I wanted my actress to wear.
Props
Some of the shots that I want to film contain lit candles, so I will need to use a variety of candles, both tea lights and tapered candles. I will film a variety of different shots for these clips in my video, and I will experiment with the blur and the focus from changing the focus on my camera.
There is also a shot where I am going to show the actress sat by a record player. I will make sure to not only film the wide shot of the actress and the record player, I will also shoot a few cutaway close ups of the record going around on the device so I can cut to them and make the scene cut faster.
One of the decisions I made with this poem, is portraying it in the form of a letter. Originally I didn't know whether I wanted to go along with this idea or not, but i decided that it would help relate the poem to some of the clips I am planning on filming. I wrote out the poem on several pieces of paper, trying to make my handwriting look different. Once this was done I then screwed it up and made it look dirty to resemble the letter being treated badly, either by the person reading it or the person who wrote it.
Costume
In order to create a negative tone, and also to keep the visuals looking plain and simple, I decided that the actress would wear a baggy black top/jumper, along with normal dark jeans. Then in the crying scenes she would wear a dark coloured vest, to create the sense that she is exposing herself through her emotions. I think having this as costume will help when presenting the emotion her character is feeling, and also it will create the sense that she is isolated and very reserved by not showing too much about herself.
