Filming the Bath Scenes

For the bath scenes, we planned to have the same angle shots of both Lily and Connor to create a link between each person and that they have some kind of connection. They would both be in a bath and they would be doing the same things such as grabbing the bath to show panic and distress and coming up from the water quickly to illustrate fear and running their hands through their hair to illustrate their reflective state as if they are thinking about something which is bothering them and causing them distress. This also gives the audience another reason to believe that the reason for Connor’s depression is because of Lily.

LILY:

This footage is of Lily going under water and coming up quickly to highlight her fear and panic as she is always portrayed to be scared of something which raises the question of whether she is dead or not. We controlled the lighting by putting the light outside the door and then shining it through a thin gap of the door. This was because it had to be dark to create the right tone.

In this clip, Lily is grabbing the side of the bath. We asked her to do this so it highlights panic within the video as she is clearly worried about something and is grabbing the side in desperation. The angle featured solely on the side of the bath where she will grab to ensure the shot focused entirely on the hand as this is the main feature. We made sure her nails were painted red to represent danger.

This is footage of Lily running her hand through her head which is what artists commonly use to show that they are thinking and may be depressed. This creates a psychological effect on the audience as they would be thinking that it should be Connor doing this not Lily. But Lily is always in his mind.

CONNOR:

Similar to the footage of Lily, this footage of Connor shows him running his hands through his head to show that he is distressed. This highlights how he is annoyed and depressed as his face appears reflective as if he is thinking about his life and getting distressed about it. This footage is used to show why he drinks as these shots clearly show he is distressed and depressed.

We asked Connor to grab the side of the bath like we asked Lily to. We asked him to keep his watch on the let people know that it was Connor and not Lily. We made the footage lighter as we wanted Lily's to be dark to question whether she is really alive or not as the footage is quite mysterious. Connor's is lighter to highlight how this is happening now as a result of Lily. Connor grabs the bath angrily to show how worried he is and how he can’t escape his thoughts and worries of Lily.

This footage is of Connor coming up from under the water links to the lyrics about 'diving in.' We have him coming up quickly and rubbing his hands through his head to show how he is distressed and panicking about something he is thinking about which we make sure the audience know is due to Lily as we show her going under the water too. We asked Lily to do the same.
