Test/Practice Footage

After filming our first scenes we decided that we couldn't use them as apart of our actual music video because we didn't include the blood which is a main element of the song choice and the concept because the main character needs blood around her mouth for the full video and all of her "victims" need it on their body somewhere so the viewers can see that she has attacked them, however the filming we have got doesn't relate to our chosen story line at all because it's not shown clearly. for example both characters are dressed well in there costumes however they look too "normal" the horror part of the video wasn't included (blood, darkness e.t.c).

This test footage we have converted into a you tube video includes the correct positioning and location that we want to use for the beginning of our video and they both got into character well (using the step by steps from the storyboard) so the only thing we need to do when we return from the half term break is re shoot this scene but include the blood in it so the viewers understand the "cannibal" story line easier. The reason we can't do it over the half term break is because our main character is going on holiday and no parts of the video don't include her somewhere in it, but on Thursday in the lesson as a group we talked through each scene and we know exactly what were doing when we get back, the full Tuesday and Wednesday in college will be full on filming everything at least twice so we have extra footage in case it's needed in the editing stage. While Emily is on holiday she is going to make the costumes for all the dancers who are going to be a part of the video and also come up with a dance routine which shouldn't take long for us to capture because the people in our video all do performing arts and some go to dancing so will be able to pick up moves easily.

Although we made this mistake, it's good we have made it at the beginning of the filming rather than in the middle otherwise more would have to be re filmed and I believe this set back has brought us together more as a group to do the best we possibly can when creating this music video.
