Finished Filming and editing again

After the last filming session we spent our time editing the video together where we finally completed the video.

We made several changed to the original. Here are the changes in the order they appeared:

• The introduction to the video no longer starts straight away it introduces the artist who will be singing the song, the artists face is not seen but two distinguishing features are shown that do not identify who it is just yet, for example the red and black checked dress she's wearing through the gap in the tree and also her body shape through a shadow.


• The reason we added in the artist singing is that through the feedback we received we had people say that our video was "too much like a short film with a soundtrack". We thought about this a lot and decided that we needed to follow the normal conventions found in the vast majority of music videos and show the artist performing the song, as at the end of the day the video is there to promote the artist, not the video.


• We removed the scene of the girl missing the bus, we decided it was irrelivant and also took up valuable screen time where we needed to put in performance. We also removed 2 of the shots of the girl walking to her house as we felt that it went on for too long and got boring so we kept it short and sweet.

We made several other changes, the majority of which were removing or trimming clips in order to allow screen time for the performance.

Here is the finished video.
