This is the first bench that we looked at. We intend to use this one for the first chorus where we overlap shots of Dan walking past and sitting next to himself on a bench. We liked this location because of the style of the bench, the tree, and the full green grass; all of which contradict the sombre mood we aim to incorporate in this sequence. The shot with Dan in, is roughly the framing we want to use, but it needs to be straighter and perhaps a little bit further out. In black and white, this will be the closest we get to emulating the 'Sweater Weather' aesthetic with all the luscious Californian surroundings.
This is the second bench that we found and again liked. It is a different style to the other one in that it is far more simplistic, and the surroundings are not as dense in colour whilst still being picturesque; this could connote a deterioration of mental state and awareness. This one shall be used for the second chorus for the above reasons, it's further on in the song and further on in his journey as a character thus suggesting a decrease in mental stability. The framing in the bottom image is most like it will be: straight and distant.
These recce's were useful as it cleared, in our minds, how the chorus sequences are actually going to look as initially we were envisaging there not being enough space to have a level shot at a reasonable distance so that the main character is in view and the 'clones' are as well - but there is plenty at the chosen locations and now that it is visually there, it is easier to imagine.
