Reasons behind changing ideas..

The original storyboard we had was completely different to the final music video posted. In the story board we had a lot of adventurous scenes needed to be filmed, which we didn't have the acting skills to do, time to do or places to do. Therefore during filming we realised this and decided to just film as much as we could, but along with some other 'on the spot' ideas any of my team had. For example, we originally had numerous muggings, and a scene where a girl finds the balaclava and throws it in the bin. However, the original actors we had in mind weren't available on the day of filming so we had to cut that bit out, and replace it with some of the 'on the spot' ideas. Some of the smaller scenes we originally had also had to be cut, which didn' make a difference in the short run, but when a few more had been cut because they didn't look right i started to notice there was a lot of gaps that needed to be filled. We had filmed a lot of bloopers and funny scenes of the day of filming which i had still marked up but dismissed them, so i decided to go back and look if any of them could fit in with the storyline. For example, there is one of the main actor messing around and jumping out of the camera man, so i added that in to emphasise the control the balaclava had on its wearer. Some of the on the spot ideas came in useful in filling gaps in footage also. One of these being when we filmed the view of the traffic, we had the idea of filming the actors feet from behind walking up the stairs, which could then be sped up in the editing phase.

Below is a clip from my music video which shows some of the bloopers being used, and also the clip of the feet walking from behind.
