Filming the bottle in the swimming pool

We chose to use the swimming pool as the song itself is called ‘Swimming Pools’ and we have already used a bath as a main feature therefore the swimming pool would fit into the music video successfully as something similar has already been used and it relates to the song title. 

We chose to film a beer bottle in the pool as it is clearly empty as Connor has drunk it all and the fact it has fallen into the pool shows how bottles are clearly littered everywhere. 

The visual aspect of the bottle falling into the pool and floating is successful as it appears calm however, I thought that this was  not some of our best work as the lighting was quite bright and I did not get a depressed feel from it, but more of an 'after party' vibe. Although this is still useful as it shows his life going out of control and him accepting no responsibility.

















This shot shows the bottle being thrown in the pool, this was to try and capture the splash it makes as we use a similar effect with the water in the bath scenes when our models quickly come up from underwater and grab the side of the bath splashing the water visually. 
This shot would look better in slow motion in order to grab the splash, however, it looks too forced as you see us throwing it in, it would look better if it rolled in as if by accident.
