Opening shot:
It opens with a medium wide shot at eye level to present the Nurturer character in a calm, open space. This framing establishes a sense of welcome and warmth, allowing the audience to see the body language clearly while still feeling a gentle distance. The eye-level position keeps the connection natural, suggesting trust and approachability right from the start. The camera then moves into a medium shot (MS) from a slight high angle. By drawing the audience closer, this shift builds emotional intimacy and allows smaller gestures, like delicate hand movements, to feel more personal and caring.

Flowers in the corner shot:
Later in the section, I used a medium wide shot with the flowers in the corner of the screen. Visually, the flowers anchor the space, creating a sense of warmth and safety around the movement. The choice to leave them slightly off to the side mirrors how nurturing presences in life often work quietly, watching over others without demanding attention. I also did this as the nurturer symbol is the flower in hands (picture in mood board), so it can link back to this.

The flower shot:
Near the end i used a close-up (CU) to capture Tayla gently holding a flower. The blurred background ensures the focus stays on the flower again to symbolise care, fragility, key traits of the Nurturer.

Opening shot:

It opens with a medium shot filmed from a slight low angle, giving the character a strong, grounded presence right away. The low angle isn’t extreme, but it subtly makes the character feel powerful and in control. As the movement becomes wider and more assertive, the camera shifts back slightly into a medium wide shot, still keeping that low viewpoint. This lets us see the full body and emphasises the way the character owns the space.

Hand Held:

During the faster, sharper movements, the camera becomes handheld and a bit shaky, but still controlled. This is because we didn't have a stabiliser for the camera, so it had to be handheld, but I actually like how it turned out. The small amount of movement makes the energy feel raw and more real.

Stillness:

There’s also an important stillness when I stop and look around the space. The camera holds steady in a medium shot. This shift in framing makes it feel like the character is always scanning, always aware of what's happening around them. Finally, the section finishes with a strong, steady close-up at eye level. The direct eye contact is powerful and creates a protective, strong energy.

Set in Castlefield Viaduct, as I liked how the plants were on either side, and there were lots of different areas that I could use to film. It also gives a sense of peace and calmness, which I wanted to convey in this section.

I chose this for the costume as I wanted neutral colours, and I feel like the cardigan adds a comforting feel to the outfit.

Opening shot:

For this shot, I used a zoom-out shot from the bow in her hair. This is a transition from the section before to make it seem like a flashback. As she skips away in slow motion, it emphasises the innocence and carefree nature of the moment, giving it a dreamlike quality. It allows the audience to focus on the purity and joy of the child’s movement, while also adding emotional depth.

Wide shots:

I used a lot of wide shots to capture the size of the forest highlighting the child’s smallness in a large, overwhelming world, which adds to the emotional depth of the scene and reinforces the theme of exploration.

Peekaboo shot:

For the ending shot, I decided to have the camera peek in and out from behind a tree, like a game of peekaboo. It adds a playful and curious feel and it also transitions out of the child section fading to black.

The use of the mirrors this way didn't make it into the end result, as I did not like how it looked, so I had to change it.

I think the use of an actual camera rather than a phone enhanced the overall outcome, although in some clips I didn't have the settings right as they are either slightly blurry or the exposure isn't right; however, I tried to combat these within the editing process, and it came out quite well.

With doing choreography, I would definitely give myself more time if I were to do this again as because I felt a bit rushed, I was panicking about getting it done sometimes more than what it actually looked like, but I don't think this shows in the final piece.

I also think next time, if I had more of a budget, I would take more risks with the locations, as I would have liked to not film it within the shockout building, although the use of the studio turned out well. I would also maybe hire a videographer, just so I know it will turn out the way I want it to, as I am not that confident with a camera. Or just do even more research on cameras and maybe get my own so I can play around with it more and really get my head around how to use it.

With editing, I think I did quite well, especially as I have never really edited a project so big, but I feel like after a few tutorials on how to do things that I was stuck on, I found it quite easy to figure it out and get it how I wanted.

Overall, I am really happy with the outcome of my project and hope everyone else enjoys watching it too.
