Ideas for filming

Charlotte has had a new idea for filming that she has prepared and we have all agreed that it is a really good idea that will look really effective in our video. Her idea is having heart shaped ice cubes and filming them melt, we can then speed up the footage and reverse it so that we have a puddle of water moulding into the shape of hearts.

In order for this to work Charlotte made some ice moulds out of heart shaped biscuit cutters and paper mache. Once the paper mache was set to make the bottom of the ice moulds, she filled them with water and put them in her fridge. Once the ice was set she took them out of the moulds and found the sunniest place in her house which happened to be the roof outside her window and set up the flip camera to film them until they melted. We uploaded the footage today onto our macs and were all really impressed with it. We did not have time today to edit the footage but next time we are all in school we can speed it up and reverse it and add it into our music video.

Although hearts are not usually a common convention in the alternative rock genre, I think it fits with our particular video and song because it reflects our theme of obsession and secret love.
