In the courtyard
This was a short session as we allowed a few hours in a night to shoot the beginning of the video. We had planned to interpret the opening lyric in a certain way - shooting our protagonist with the illusion of him laying down with a nose bleed which we would reverse up his nose - 'As the blood dries in my veins, and my heart feels no more pain'
We will have to over crank this piece of film for it to be able to run across many shots we will be cutting between during the stretch of the acoustic introduction. In our risk assessment here we have stated the risk of putting food colouring up our actors nose, we decided the best way to do this was to plug his nose with cotton wool previous, then drip the blood into the plug. Pressing on his nostril and throwing his head forward the blood slowly dripped down his nose. Subtly and slow which is the image we were looking for.
The brick work again creates the urban atmosphere, and the opening close up captures his vacant and lifeless emotion, his hooded costume instantly portraying the urban mode of address, thus this is a powerful opening image.

Mopping up the excess!
Here are four images which show the progression of the dripping blood and its clever effect. The shot framing and positioning is exactly the same to maintain continuity.We had some time following this so i mentioned it might be an idea to go down outside Greenhithe station as i know that walking down the hill at peak time are many business people. A shot we has previously thought would have been filmed in a busy London street with crammed framing turned into the shot below. It is more simple but we are happy with the colouring and the way our protagonist seems to stand out amongst the people.
The shot drawn by the animatic compared the shot after filming. Static and alone our males fierce glare make him appear unsociable and ostracized - people walking past oblivious.
