Filming

When filming our music video we endured many problems that hindered our progression. When originally casting the two characters in our video we imagined that they would be flexible to film, however on many occasions the female who asked to star in our video failed to show up and this lead to many problems. These included difficulties such as an inability to keep up continuity, the first filming took place with snow in the background and before we had the chance to film again the snow had melted. As a group we managed to make a decision that I feel has dramatically improved our video which was for me to be the female character. This meant that filming was easy and accessible as I knew exactly what I wanted the character to bring to the narrative of the film and felt I had a greater understanding of the characterization of her. Also, because the male in the video is a close friend of mine we were able to create a relationship that was believable to the audience and captured the romanticism of the narrative. We also had to reshoot due to one of the members in my group mistakenly believing the camera was recording, this meant that we had to reschedule another day to film and delayed our video development. However, I do feel that this was a learning experience as from this mistake we was able to reshoot extremely quickly as in our minds we knew the exact shots we wanted and helped us focus on portraying the characters with believable, in depth thoughts.
