Reasons for Change

As discussed in yesterday's post, Rachel and I have decided to again change our idea for our music video and continue with 'Don't Get Me Wrong' rather than 'Hitsville UK'. Listed below are some reasons as to why we decided to rethink our pitch.

Filming in School- There were a lot of parts of the video that we had planned to film in school, but we then thought it would be hard to look realistic. As we go to an all girls school, we would have to use extras and other people in the background to create the illusion that it was a mixed school as our protagonist is male. As well as this, it would prove difficult to film in school as our actor goes to a ifferent school and does not have home study periods where he could meet us tofilm, The majority of our filming would have to be done after school and on weekends, times when we are unable tofilm in school.

Storyboarding- Whilst trying to storyboard we were finding it difficult to make the video interesting and we were discovering that neither of us were really invested into the video. We continued with it as we were unsure of what to do instead but since coming up with our new idea we are feeling much more positive. Since changing to 'Don't Get Me Wrong', we already have many more ideas for our video.

Genre/ Product- The video we had planned to produce was begining to feel more like a film opening as there weren't many elements of music video. With the new idea, there are more opportunities for us to conform to music video conventions such as clear verses for editing to the beat.
