Our first day of filming we decided to get the first part of the montage filmed which would be right at the begging of the music video to show the audience a bit of background on the history of the family and the character within. Are aim was to shoot many different shots specifically close ups that would only be no more than 2 second long which will be in the audio beat. Because it was at my house we had to re-arrange some furniture especially where we were shooting for example a shot we had planned was of a shel that had all these great momentums of the different stages of the birth of the child which is why in my room what i had on my shelf had to be changed and we placed certain objects like the teddy and baby photos album to emphasise that at this moment in the music video its about knowing that the couple have had a child below is a photo of the item on the shelf and we shot from this exact angle and panned it from one end of the shelf to the other side.
We also focused on shooting a shot of the famous picture frame that will make its appearance more than once through the music video but that is never properly seen in the video until our last shot where you will see a family moment captured. The montage is as long as the introduction is and because the tempo of the song speeds up the shot also speed up. With the montage of the the family flashing in contrast with the the solider getting ready we shot the actress getting dress putting shoes on but not ever showing the face because at the end it will reveal that it is the father getting ready. Shots like the actress going down the stairs stepping out of the front door and down the outside stairs are toward the end of the introduction/montage scene which helps create the suspense as to which one of the parents it is.
