Unplanned/Spontaneous Idea Changes
We started filming on the 28th of October and by this point we has not planned exactly when we would film the rest of our footage for our music video. We had just assumed that we would plan to film as we went along, and for the most part this scheme worked very well and we got enough footage from the four locations that we did film, these were at Jacks house, the dance studio, the recording studio and the pit. However, from our plan we had thought it would be a good idea to film with Lauren lip syncing over a projector screen with a video of her dancing on it, but once we had filmed in the four locations we believed that we had enough footage for our video alone without the extra scene involved. So, because of this we then decided to not film in this location.
Another factor as to why we abandoned the idea was because we could not find the space to do, an obvious option would be for us to use a classroom at school because they all have projectors in but they would not have the kind of lighting we need for the atmosphere we wanted. We wanted to have a dark room where Lauren was lit up by the dance going on in the projector behind her and since we didn't have much time left to film we thought that we should just not waste our time in trying to find a location and fit it in and instead focus on the editing of the other footage that we had and that filled up the time space of the song perfectly.
The effect we were originally going for was something like in the Ariana Grande video 'The Way'. In the video you can see Ariana dancing and singing in front of the film projected on the back wall, we thought that this would look very effective in our video as then we could relate the narrative and performance together.
