Re-Shoot

As a group, we felt it was necessary to re-shoot some scenes of the music video in order to meet the suggestions given to us through the feedback.

In response to the first piece of feedback that I got which was about there not being enough narrative and needing to show more of a relationship between the characters, we filmed scenes that placed the two characters in different situations doing things together. We made sure we did it in a way where we just added to the narrative instead of changing the whole story to make them look more like a couple. The majority of the scenes we chose to film and add were the couple in the house; scenes such as the couple walking into the house together and making tea in the kitchen emphasised the fact that they lived with each other.

Another piece of feedback we got was that it would be effective if there was a scene showing the couple arguing. We chose to add this in and it proved to work really well as it established the relationship more adding to the narrative whilst also linking into the lyrics and mood of the song.

Having to work on such a tight schedule to give us enough time to add in the selected scenes, made us work efficiently as a group and keep us eager to complete the task successfully.


The scene featuring the argument between the two characters, is a scene which we chose to add in when filming again as it proves to be very effective and have an impact whilst also linking in with the theme and lyrics of the song.

Rough Cut


When putting the clips together, I chose to go for a slow edit as I felt the narrative would then mirror the pace of the song. I didn't use any effects as I felt that adding them would take away from the video and the meaning that I wanted to get across. My favourite part of the video is when George is seen to fade away when leaving Frankie in the park.

Feedback:
After completing my rough cut, I showed it to my peers and my teachers to get feedback on it to see how I could improve and if there was anything to add/take away.

The feedback I received was:
  • Is that there was not enough narrative and more scenes need to be added showing the relationship between the two characters.
  • The lip syncing was seen to be off at times so that needed to be fixed.
  • The fact that the two characters live together needs to be reinforced.
  • There is a clear story.
