Having watched a few exemplar shots (like the one above from Lady Gaga ft. Beyoncé - Telephone) of one camera filming the image being filmed by another (so for example filming the screen a CCTV camera is relaying images back to) myself and Frank both agree that this could potentially be a worthwhile shot, which could add something different and interesting to our music video.
To begin our enquiries we have asked a small store, local to us both, whether or not we could film their television screen which shows the CCTV images they are collecting. By telling them what it’s for we hope that perchance they might suggest a method where by they could actually give us the footage they have, however we recognise this is probably long odds, hence why we are not asking straight away about this possibility. The Store Manager has taken our query on board and will deliberate upon it, before, she says, getting back to us as soon as possible.
We feel shots such as the ones we are deliberating upon using would simply be helpful in connoting the ‘troubled’ theme of the narrative, as CCTV is stereotypically, and actually first and foremost for, helping to catch criminals and prevent criminality. The shot of course would also be quite unique and inventive and so would be a prime way of demonstrating our creativity and willingness to try new things.
