Alterations made along the way

Originally we planned on filming 50% of our music video in London and 50% percent of it in a studio. Although we were able to film the studio section, filming in London was quite a difficult thing to film, with locations needing permission and finding days and transport so that the necessary people could get there. Due to this we had to change our location idea and think of new ways we could incorporate cities into our music video. With one of our members visiting Paris, she took videos of city transport and landscape, to intersperse into the singing in our music video. We then also developed our projections idea (projecting images onto the artists face) and created the Paris videos in to projections and trialled them onto the artist. This worked well, and we are happy that although we couldn't film 50% of the video where we originally planned to, that we incorporated similar ideas into a more original and effective idea.
 We also found that some shots fitted better in the video than the ones originally made on the storyboard. Shots such as silhouettes in tunnels, didn't highlight the miming of the artist as much as we had hoped for, after experimenting with a green screen, we realised that this shot wouldn't work as well as we hoped, and the green screen wouldn't give the same effect as envisioned. Replacing this shot, we now have close ups of the artist who is sat side on, to replicate the original positioning of the artist in the tunnel, and we also have long shots of cityscapes, to fulfil our urban feel from the original storyboard, as we didn't want to loose what our original aim for the piece was, which involved contrast in locations from city to studio. As we already had the studio shot, we thought it would be a shame to loose the contrasting cityscapes, so we managed to incorporate these also in the music video, as planned.
