Music Video Shoot: 24 November 2012

We shot our narrative music video in a hamlet in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. This section was the flashbacks section of the narrative, where we see the central character kill each of her subsequent boyfriends.

Cellphone signal was barely present and access to a town centre was almost an hour away. Nevertheless, we still had all the necessary equipment and enough supplies to shoot this section of our music video.

The first section was shot in the woods in the hamlet, which was a short walk from the house we were staying and shooting in.

This sequence was the confrontation and retaliation in the woods scene. Here, Kathy, the vocalist shoots the first boyfriend (DAN) in exchange for attempting to do so himself.

Stills and behind the scenes from this scene:

The next sequence is shot indoors. This sequence Chris (2nd Boyfriend) walks in and confronts Kathy in the toilet. With the use of mise-en-scene, we imply that Chris is intoxicated and is has motive to sexually assault Kathy. However, being in his intoxicated state, loses the upper hand and any form of strength, leading to Kathy smashing his face on the edge of a sink and drowning him in it. The sequence required Chris to be drowned after the previous shots were up to standard and up to how we intended them to look like in order to preserve continuity. In the plan of an accidental or premature dunking of Chris's head into the water, we were provided a hair dryer and a towel, both we fortunately only used once.
