UPDATE: CHANGES TO ACTORS (PLANNING)
Due to the difficulties we faced trying to find availability for our original actors, we decided for our re-shoot to recruit two actors who are very easily accessible.
Lead Male actor: Danny O Brien
Danny is a member of the A2 media group so will be very easily accessible and more committed. He'd be very hands on as he will play a part in the camerawork and the setting up of each shot. Danny, although doesn't have any acting experience, wants to gain the best grade possible so will be patient.
Lead Female Actor: Imogen Quail
Imogen is a close friend of ours and would too be very committed. We wouldn't have to work around her schedule as she would be very willing to film whenever we need her, which is good when you're
constructing a video in a short space of time.
Male supporting actor: Geraint Padfield
Being a member of the group, I also will be very easily accessible which makes the constuction of our video quicker and more efficient.

UPDATE : CHANGES TO VIDEO (PLANNING)
We have decided to make dramatic changes to our music video. After showing our video to our teacher, upon the feedback we have received we have come to the decision to change our video. We are now going to have a purely narrative video, dropping the conceptual element. We have decided to drop the conceptual side of our video as we found the clarity of our actual concept was somewhat lacking.
The narrative will once again be centred upon a relationship, this time with a clearer storyline containing a better insight into the relationship and more detailed documentation of the couple. We are going to have three stages in the video, the introduction, the argument and falling out/separation and then the getting back together at the end of the video.
Now that we are filming again we have a better grasp of what we want and need in our video, with experience and knowledge of how to avoid and solve issues. There is however a reasonably large time constraint due to the fact that we are going to re shoot. With this in mind we will be choosing actors in accordance with their availability.

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK FROM TEACHER (PLANNING)
I met my new teacher this week, we discussed my coursework and she gave the following feedback:
- The narrative is not easy to follow.
- There is no actual concept that our video is based upon.
- Our video does not contain many conventions.
- It did not capture and hold the attention of the viewer.
- Editing techniques were poorly executed.
- Film more with the actors in it.
Therefore, I will change/do the following things to improve my work:
by 23/01/15
-complete new timeline and shotlist
- Include more angles and shots in sequences to make the narrative clear.
- Get rid of the conceptual element to the video.
- Research conventions to gain a better understanding of generic conventions, then include these.
- Ensure it is clearer and moves at a faster pace so the audience can follow the narrative and be interested in it.
- Watch editing tutorials to correctly edit certain shots.
- Use actors that can be easily contacted and filmed with.
