The dull dark afternoons started to appear.

And again.

Snow came.

The opening shots that were filmed previously, now covered in snow.

Our friend Jack popped by to help a hand.

A large gale took over for the day.


Problems I faced whilst filming and how I worked with them


Throughout my filming of this music video one problem I faced was the changes in the weather. The days I had a camera and filmed Ellie the weather was not always on our side. We were hit by rain, snow, wind and the odd bit of sunshine. We still went ahead filming to see if we could get any good shots for future reference. I liked many of these 'practice' shots so incorporated them into my actual video which them gave me the idea to expand my story line though seasons having my actress not only look alone and lost but to do so all year round. I find this a very effective feature in my music video.


Also my actress, Ellie, after filming my ‘running’ shot, picked up an injury from one of her sporting activities which but a halt on filming more of these shots in different weathers. Never the less we managed to use the time we had whilst the sun was out to film my introduction shots.
