More Filming

On Friday, we decided that it would be necessary to do some more filming, to increase the different number of shots in the video, as well as creating more of a narrative for our video. This now means that we have four different locations in our film. We are now at the editing stage on Final Cut Express. This footage is a narrative storyline, we had originally thought about using a narrative, but decided against it. However, we decided that our video lacked movement and direction, so we decided on a narrative to incorporate this and link to the lyrics with in the song. We took inspiration from the lyrics such as 'I can't handle your excuses' to come up with a story in which the artist appears to be waiting for someone who she has arranged to meet, but they do not turn up, so she gives up, deciding she cannot 'handle their excuses'. We are also planning to put the narrative into black and white, as this will add a retro and vintage feel to the video, which we had taken inspiration from videos from artists similar to ours. It will also help to distinguish the difference between the 2 main bodies of footage as since we filmed our first footage, I had all of my hair cut off, so the artists image which we originally constructed for our footage is now different. However, in 'The Black Horse And The Cherry Tree' video we looked at by KT Tunstall, we noted how the artists image changed throughout the video to make her appear almost as though she is a different person, so we do not feel that this change in image will be a huge problem.
