Changes

Changes through filming.

Originally: The genre is RnB and we were going to contain a Male Rap artist and a Female RnB artist.
New Idea: Our video contains a female artist.


Originally: Have Mike, rapping in the song and narrative shots of him. Use his photos on magazine advertisement & album cover.
New Idea: We cut our video down and we dont feature Mike in the song or the video. He is no longer featured on the album cover or magazine advertisement.

Although filming him may have had more of effect on the song, the story is clear enough without using his part.


Originally: We were going to have a 'dad' figure being filmed to show the abuse and add flashbacks to emphasise this.
New Idea: We have just used the narrative and performing shots & decided not to use any flashbacks of the abuse.

Narrative shots of her in the studio shows the audience that this is where she feels safe and free from her storyline portrayed in the song. This is where she dances & is the person she wants to be.

Orininally:Our ideas at first were to film an ambulance at the end of our shot to show how the actions of her abuse ended

New Idea: We have decided to end our music video with the girl coming off the floor and used editing to make her appear to be lifting off the floor and getting on her feet as a backwards effect.

Originally: We thought of having flashback shots in black in white

New Idea: We have the whole video in black and white and i think it gives a great effect to the style and story to our song.

Originally: we were going to have a faded out colour of artist and she wasnt looking at camera

New Idea: Close up, black & white & she has eye contact with audience

Locations

This is the dance studio where we filmed out narrative.
We chose a dance studio to show a place where the young girl could get away from everything that the song explains, through dance. This is her place where she can be herself.

We used this bench for many of our narrative shots. It makes the young girl seem very closed in and alone as it is a darker cornered off area which portrays this.

We used this place for narrative and to show the girl lying on the floor.



This is where we see some narrative and performing shots.

This is the sofa we used to use narrative & performing shots. We also moved this sofa in the studio. The sofa is used as a prop which makes it more interesting.
