Shots from Filming



These are some of the props we used for this part of the filming, this includes a pink tea pot with pearls and beads bursting out of it. This was for the more serene part of the song so their isn't as much madness in it but the fact that the beads are falling out of the pot shows that their is still a little bit of madness their but it is in a more appropriate way then other parts of the video.
The mask in the far back was chosen for the fact that its colours are pale and not vibrant which once again gets across the message that we are trying to send.
This was on the small carpet that was put down in on the leaves for Molly to sit down on so it seemed as if she were having a tea party.
This was our second prop that we used and the one that we felt a lot more creative with. We were lucky enough that I have an obsession with tea cups and this fit what we wanted to do perfectly. We then got some more pearls and we also were able to get some with a large flower attached to it which came in handy as it made it look even more effective. We then used some feathers and some rings which included a unicorn ring and a ring with a pink rose inside it, unfortunately you cant see these too clearly. We put this nearer the front of the shot as we wanted to make sure that it was seen, we also asked Molly to use it whilst filming with the pearls hanging down as if to show that she is drinking pearls..serenity and purity in a sense.




This is the rose that I have previously mentioned, I have adjusted the colouring a little but I wanted to make it look a lot more pink and serene then it originally did. This was actually a big factor in the video and flowers and roses in particular are always connected with serene portraits and soft images. This is what we wanted to show but also as it is positioned in a certain way and attached to many pearls that are spilling out of a tea cup it has given it a sort of madness in the footage, which is perfect for us.

This is of our dear Molly sitting on the rug very lady like with the props around her and the location being some little woods around the back of some houses but it was the perfect location as it is quite and it doesn't look creepy like other woods might. As you can see we have perched her in front of a tree this was our initial idea as we thought if she was sat just in the middle of no where it would look a little strange so we thought that sitting in front of a tree would look very simple and to our satisfaction it worked very well. Also the hat was from Charlotte's collection along with the skirt which we felt gave her a look of a young naive girl.






This is a shot of her sipping from the tea cup with the pearls falling out and her holding the rose just as I had previously mentioned. She posed so well for this footage we couldn't have asked her to do it any better, she looked serene and pure with no care in the world. The point of this idea did in fact come from the idea of the Mad Hatter and his crazy tea parties, this was an excellent way of showing her crazy side but in a serene and pure way by using micro features instead of the macro features.

CLOSE UP














Here we decided to change what she was wearing on her head, this was originally a necklace but I had used it as a headband in a previous photo shoot and it worked really well so we decided to use it again. It makes her look very serene but it makes her look grown up unlike the hat, that gave her a child like quality however this gives her a more grown up quality but I think still holds that childness and she is dressing up and in a sense it seems that she is pretending to be a princess with the jewels and the tea cups.
