Change of plan

A few weeks had gone by now, and we still had very little progress, this became a worry as our deadline was becoming closer and closer. So after a long discussion we decided to scrap the idea of ''Do Wah Diddy''. This was a hard decision as we tried our hardest to complete this task, but like we discussed, it is to much effort and we expected ourselves to do so much, in such little time.
We discussed that is would be a lot more suitable to pick a track with less singers in it, or possibly a solo artist. This meaning, we would only have to find one reliable performer, and not a band full of people.

We have changed it to Adele - Hiding my heart, which is possible as we only need two characters - a boy and a girl.

We asked around to singers in our Sixth Form, and Melissa was a personal friend of Kerry, a girl who was enthusiastic about the whole idea of a music video and was interested in our project. So after speaking to her, she was more than happy to help us, as it would also benifit her too!

Listening to the song, we plan to take the narrative to help us create a picture on what we want for the music video.

Fields - we brainstormed many locations we would like for our music video, but we all agreed to film the video on the moors, these moors include wind turnbinds which we agreed would create a nice affect in the background, with it being windy there to, it would create a beautiful effect of a breezy place, for a lonley female walking on her own. For this scene, it would be nice for Kerry to wear, a knitted cardigan, leggings and brown boots.

Melissa's House - She has a spare bedroom that can be used as Kerries bedroom and to be used for memories and the cross fading effect when in the lyrics she sings about him not being there.With this we planned that we want a male to be there then fade away. So to do this we plan to film a boy in the same place, then on the editing program cross fade him in and out.

Train platform - This will be used when she see's her boyfriend off the platform.

Dark room - This will be used for the performance element where she will be sat on a high stool, playing acoustic guitar, possibly miming the song.

We will be colour coding the music video with Black and White for memories and Colour for the present.

A friend of Gaynors called Jason is playing the male character and is also ethuisastic to be in the video too.

We are to discuss when we are all free and see if weekends are good for filming.
