Changes to Music Video after Animatic

  1. We didn't include the shot at the start with the doctor peering into the room with the mental patient visible sitting in the centre through the window, the shot we had in mind would mean using a green screen and extensive editing which we hadn't know when imagining the shot, we looked up examples of the same edited shot and decided it wasn't right for the video
  2. We didn't include close-ups of the band members as we thought this would put more focus on the other band members, whereas we wanted all the focus to be on the differences between the mental patient and lead singer to stress the two different characters in the narrative
  3. One thing we increased was the number of close-ups of the drummer, this was because these shots were really effective at creating dramatic emphasis at points of action in the video, when linked to the percussion in the song.
  4. We didn't include the shot with the lead singer and the mental patient combining into one person, this was because we overestimated the space we would have in the studio we shot in, which meant it was hard to do this to a perfected effected, in other terms the room was too small for us to get the positioning perfect for the actor to stand in the same position playing as both characters to combine them later in editing
  5. We didn't include the shots with the band playing in front of three different backgrounds with the mental patient beside them, this is simply because the room was too small to fit the band, the mental patient, the green screen, and enough room to edit them seamlessly together
  6. We didn't include the shot with all the copies of the mental patient acting out the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, this was probably the biggest upset in terms of lost shots but once again it was due to the size of the room meaning we couldn't fit/position five copies of the actor
  7. We didn't include the bridge shots, this is because we found a better location being a subway which had graffiti which we thought better suited our star image and music video
  8. Lastly we slightly altered our idea of having the mental patient run past himself singing, this was changed to the singer running and as he swipes past the centre the mental patient appears from behind him
