Rear Window Analysis

In the beginning the camera pans around and allows you to see the setting which is a residence
area consisted of middle class people in an urban looking apartment. As the camera lifts around you could see the district looks compact and average, the first character is a man in is 40's/50's laying down and judging from his sweats and the thermometer you can tell the weather was really hot.

The camera continues to move and you see a couple sleeping outside their balconies and as the obvious states (they were sleeping at the opposite sides) their relationship might not be at the
smooth stage, now the camera pans to left you can see an old slightly over-weight guy who seems
to be going through a mid-life crisis (notice the alcohol- assuming it's absinth which is very strong and the beer belly) what supports this is when the radio came up announcing "are you feeling old? are you tired?".

What really caught my attention was after this we see a shot called "the male gaze" where it focuses on an attractive women who seems to be dancing around and clearly her shot was a lot longer than the man's. You can see how the camera slowly moves up and focuses on her appearance.

Back to the man sleeping in his living room the mise-en-scene tells me he's adventurous judging from his belongings lying around (cameras, newspaper and lots of books). The time should be around the
summer because he was still sweating a lot.

There was a part where people were coming out to look at the dead dog, all of them came and see
except for one room and I suspect it's the killer's room. Everyone simply stared and minded their
own business instead of caring.

As Grace walks in you can see her taking care of her husband who only seems to notice her
when she does things for him.

Filming Process

Session 1 -

I started traveling at 11:30 from my house in Don Muang to the Ghost Tower in Sathorn was approximately an hour an a half away. The first thing I did was made sure my equipments were ready.

Camera bag - Check
Project Plan - Check
Memory card has enough space - Check
GoPro - Check

After arriving at roughly 17:30 It was sunny enough but the only problem was one thing, It started to rain so 19:30 and the weather was good again. The scenery came to life as the people started showing up and this is exactly what I was looking for.

I discovered that having the camera settings in manual was more challenging than I had expected.
Since this is practically my first time attempting to a project I realized it's far more than showing up with a camera and expect the magic to happen. You had to be organized, and specially at things like festivals somehow luck and timing will have to play a.

All the shots were captured when I felt that whatever transcended through the camera had an eerie vibe to it. The goal was making the sequence as appetizing as possible and at the same time follow the rules (credit orders).

After about 3-4 hours of filming it's getting quite dark, which was okay because the lights around the place was amazing as well.

Plan Draft

Song starts slowly with camera panning up showing a clear site of the trees and the stones.
When drum kicks in it show's people dancing in slow motion.
A few footages come in to accompany the song, mostly focused on the vibes around the festival.
When the drum stops the camera pans around the festival slowly.
Drum comes back and another scene of people dancing.

Try Include:

Clear details of the stones
View from backstage
Clear details of trees
Band Equipment
Tents
Various types of cars
