Alternative Scenes

Whilst filming there were a few scenes we couldnt use as they were slight errors which didnt look professional or that we didnt feel were effective as others. We also had other ideas for some scenes, here is a short film which shows which scenes we either didnt use or were changed slightly for the music video.




Green Screen Shots : As you can see from the short film, there were many different backgrounds that we were going to use for the green screen performance shots. We wanted to find a picture that looked realistic but that was also eye catching. Whist out filming we couldn’t find any locations which we could have taken a picture of or filmed to then add to the green screen. Therefore we searched the internet and found the pink graffiti eye which is what we used. There we many other suggestions for the back ground such as, Pills which would have related to the song, skyline views which would have matched the scenes which where the performer is singing in the rain but we couldn’t find one that looked realistic as they were still images or just didn’t look right as the background. We didn't use some of the footage filmed in front of a green screen as we felt it didn’t look right. Some looked slightly silly and were not appropriate for the song. Our initial idea behind the running in front of the green screen was to put a back ground, either still or moving to look as if the performer was running from one scene to another either front left to right across the scene or towards the camera with a moving image behind. However we didn’t particularly like these scenes and decided not to use them in our video.

The scene outside on the roof with the performer looking back was meant to be part of a eye line match scene in the music video. However, due to the heavy rain and wind the camera lens had rain droplets on it, causing the footage to look smudged and blurry. We were disappointed as we lost a fair amount of footage die to the same problems which were noticed when we uploaded the footage onto the computer. We did manage to use some of the footage where the water on the lens wasn’t as noticeable.

We had an idea of filming the mobile phone with a line of the lyrics “Cant stay on your life support.” Witten on it like a text but realized until we uploaded the footage, that unfortunately you could see the reflection of the camera on the mobile phone. This was quite noticeable and wouldn’t have been professional if we had used it. We were quite disappointed with this as we thought it was a clever idea, which could have been placed near the conversation of the performer singing down the phone.
