This day was dedicated to filming the 'filler shots' we needed to help break up our music video and take stills for our digipak and poster design. From previous planning we decided that shots of a horse galloping through a filed would look great and would fit into our concept style that had been implemented in the rest of the video ! The reason for picking a horse was to again symbolise breaking free from a relationship as at the start of the video the horse is on a rope being guided but then breaks free and gallops away!
Obviously when working with any animal additional safety precautions had to be taken. The sheer size of the horse alone was a danger in itself meaning we needed someone who knew something about the animals and someone who the horse was comfortable to work with.
Again when taking the still shots we decided that the main feature should be a female and a horse. We took many shots to review and pick the best at the end of the day. We also experemented with different lighting levles and contrast settings giving us a wide selection to choose from. The imagry again was linked to our video as the same female is shown walking the horse as on the images. This not only gives the audience the impression that the single which would be on the album is a more well known song, and would give them recognition when buying or watching the video as the two products can be linked easily.
Deeper reasons behind this were the fact that we were inspired by the group 'Hurts' who often use the same actors and actresses in many of their videos. It was because of this we decided to take a similar path and go ahead with the same actress in the video and on the still images used on the cover of the digipak and poster.
