The performance aspect of this video will be filmed as one continuous shot of Liam miming and playing an acoustic guitar which I will then cut into segments and edit into specific points in the video. This performance will be seen in shots 7, 9, 24, 27 and 40. Due to this only being a test shot, Liam's outfit, the background and lighting are not to the standard of what will be seen in the final outcome.
I originally wanted the performance to be filmed as a high angle, mid-shot of Liam standing against a white background. After filming this test shot I was unhappy with the outcome as I wanted Liam to connote dominance and confidence in his performance and I felt that filming it from a high angled highlighted his vulnerability.
I then got Liam to sit on the edge of a bed whilst I filmed him in a low angle long shot. I feel that this looks better and makes Liam central to the shot. His body language in this position looks more relaxed and comfortable which is what I was hoping for as this scene is set in Liam's characters house and it also provides reference to the laidback look of Indie musicians.
