Development: something worth reading

After picking the locations to shoot we proceeded with the filming.

This was a relatively easy task, all I had to do from my perspective was to follow the couple, make stops at the more  charming corners of the parks, rotate the camera to have the couple either with or against the light etc.

To give the picture further warmth I tried to shoot using the warm white balances. Given that we shot in September/October the days were still long and sunny.

To further enhance the warmth (positive energy, hah) of the sequence, I got a set of film-burns.
I remember what a discovery this was to me to realize how 'these funky colours like flashing into the reel and stuff' were made.
The film burns are not only a perfect tool for raising the emotional value of a sequence (this is probably written very wrong, but you might have an idea what I mean), but also help blending the footage together so that the cuts don't appear so... violent?
Either way, a good addition to just about any footage (given it's not monochrome. Or maybe?) which helps the sequence raise at least one step away from the amateur. It surely helped me, as back when I was shooting it I had hardly any knowledge on resolutions etc.
Anyway.

The couple decided to pick Foster the Kids - Pumped up Kicks.
The lyrics might not be the strongest asset of the video, unless the couple are planning a violent divorce, yet the tune of the song has some charm to it.

was meant to be rings, and funny, hah

Besides, in personal projects such as these, I am not really meant to make suggestions. The couple are sending this as a message 'that's us, that's who we are, that's what we like, join us, be happy'. So especially if the song has some secret meaning to them or they simply like it, that's ok.
This makes me especially happy that I don't have to justify this decission.

Sweet.
