Ideas for my final filming over christmas..

I would like to have many more performance shots that can just be slotted in where need be here are some of my ideas...
-Retreating to a shed where she is reflecting on her emotions
- More intimate, close up shots to put in between the visual, metaphorical shots
- Possibly more close ups of the male gazing at his love
- Shot locations: under a tree, on a swing.

Editing Process..

I have been editing for a while and have structured my video by reviewing the footage and referring to my storyboard. Although set out nicely, my footage does have a few spaces that can be filled with more performance based shots. My actress lives in Wales and therefore is not around to film on demand, I am determined to film the last few shots over Christmas when she is home and by that point I will have edited  to the point that I can just slip the performance shots in.

Editing Decisions...

I need to decide whether to have my flashbacks in black and white and the est of the footage in colour... or if I have the flashbacks in colour (signifying joy and happiness) and the footage in black and white.
Here is an example of a shot of my footage both in black and white...

Reviewing Footage

After uploading my footage, I realised I had more than I had anticipated.
All the shots have great lighting and I am really pleased with the colours, I had imagined either the 'flashback's or the performance sections in black or white, I am yet to experiment and decide which will work best.
Due to the late change of actress, I imagined I would have to do film on several more occasions for performance shots, but this was by no means the case.
I would however like to do a few more metaphorical shots to give my piece depth and meaning.
I am hoping to do this this weekend, however I no longer have access to my actress as she is abroad...
My footage so far is promising, I just need to get as much material as I can incase I need to fill any time in my video.
