Preliminary Planning

In the twenty seventh shot of our video, we have to release helium balloons. Caroline's mum bought us a dozen white helium balloons for our final shot. However we realised that it may take a couple of goes to get it right, and once the balloons are let off we cannot get them back. Because of this Caroline bought a coupe of spare balloons for us to have a few practice shots with. This enabled us to practice the angle of the shot, the distance away from the camera the balloons had to be etc. Through this process we managed to get a clear idea of how we were going to capture that particular shot, so that it was most authentic.

Caroline came up with the idea of having bubbles at the same time as the balloons were let off. We believed this would add creativity into the shot, and relate and fit in nicely with the balloons. Due to the fact we could not make our video identical, we thought this would be a nice twist on the original, and perhaps substitute the smoke on the ground in the real video.
