Evaluation

Although our ideas where creative we did not have the time to make them successful. We had some debates to weather we would change the track if we had to chose again. Some members of the group believe it will be difficult to make a good music video to the track, whilst others believe that with more time and organisation we will be able to have a more appropriate and successful video. If we also had more time and video funds we would change our idea completely and possibly film on a beach instead. Through doing the rough cut we have discovered the difficulties such as how much the weather affects the quality of the video and the atmosphere. We also know that costume and miss-en-scene will need to be altered for our final cut to make it more appropriate for the lyrics and style of the track. For example the girl miming the track will need to wear vintage style clothes and the miss-en-scene we will have to attempt to make the brighter as the track is very bubbly and light-hearted, thi will go well with the rack.
We found it difficult to film in a public place (cambridge sreets) as when attempting to video people wlking past, members of the public became extremely intrigued by the video camera and stood to watch. Either this or they completely avoided the camera, this was the opposite to what we needed them to do. In the short notice we also found it hard for our actress to find the time to film so used an alternative performer. We attempted to acomplish a scene whereby leaves fell from trees where the girl was dancing but this was also made difficult as we couldnt have people shaking the trees to make the leaves fall in the shot. As we found it difficult to find time in all of our scheduels to film we also had to shoot the, walking into the party scene, through a dentist door in cambridge street.
For the rough cut it was also difficult to get appropriate props into cambridge, for example the bike.
We have not yet attempted the stop motion due to lack of time, although we have planned to fit this into our final cut and spend more time on that area of the video.
