This music video was challenging for me, because I faced the challenge of whether to attempt to film a performance section, with lip sinking of someone who wouldn't fit the convention of the genre, or try to work around the performance and break the conventions of the genre in a clever way.
However, pop-rock music videos tend to be 90% performance based, leaving me with a lot of space to fill with a narrative. Because of all the extra space I knew that I needed to do something that required thought from the audience. I wanted to create something where they would, firstly have to keep watching to understand, and secondly something that would stand out amongst it's genre.
I did write a shot breakdown in my planning stage for the video, however, specifically in the black and white footage, I found that everything felt slightly forced and wasn't believable. To solve this I ended up only using my shot breakdown during the colour footage and allowing my actors to improvise with the black and white stuff, which turned out a lot better than my original attempts.
