Alternative Shots Idea 1

I was looking through some of the music videos that are associated with the type of song I am using and I wanted to see if there were any ideas that I could interpret and produce in my own production. One of these ideas was the idea of a couple at dinner and this appealed to me as I work in a restaurant and thought that I may have the ability to make this work. This would be very good as it would incorporate a better surrounding and would make it seem more realistic than some of my other scene ideas as this would have more people in it rather than just being the two main actors.

The types of shots that would be possible in this would be slightly limited as there is only a limited area where anything can be done and the restaurant itself will not want the filming to disrupt the atmosphere of the restaurant and make the customers feel uncomfortable as this would generate bad business for them. Therefore I would probably try to use more shot reverse shots and use the 180 degree rule when shooting the shots of them sat down for dinner. The restaurant I have in mind does have a step ladder so it may be possible to do high angles shots in some places.

The Video that gave me this idea is shown below and the moment it occurs is at the 3 minute mark and follows through until the end:
