Diary Post Sixteen

Now that I have screened my first draft to my classmates, I discussed with my two teachers how they thought it was looking so far. We decided that my video needed an extra narrative to make it more interesting to watch, and so that the video progresses as the song does, rather than repeating itself. I am planning to re-shoot on 2nd April, this time using three male actors appearing as a band. The narrative, which will be entirely in black-and-white and once again in extreme close-up, will follow them setting up for a performance: tuning guitars, testing microphones, doing their hair, etc. I will intersperse this footage with my existing video, replacing the old shots that I am not happy with, so that although the video begins with the girls, it will gradually become more and more about the boys until the middle instrumental, which will all be the black-and-white narrative. Then, in the final instrumental, I will replay the  black-and-white narrative, sped-up. The video will end on a long shot of the band about to play the first note of the song, but before they begin, it cuts to black.
