Change of Direction

After receiving feedback and also discussing between each other what we thought we have decided that it might be best to have a complete change of direction. This is because what we achieved was unsuccessful and starting something fresh should potentially have a better outcome.

General ideas discussed include getting rid of the stop/start as although it has the potential to look effective it took six hours alone to cut out the figures on Photoshop to get the shots we needed and we have been advised to double them if to proceed with the idea which would increase this working time to 12 hours- neither of us have this amount of time to spend on a small portion of the video which could be avoided if we came up with other ideas as we both have part-time jobs, family commitments and other coursework for our other subjects. The time might also be further expanded as for the draft the images weren't even cut out particularly accurately or effectively and so the six hours could easily have been expanded to around eight or nine if done properly so to about 16- 18 if to proceed and do it correctly for our final video. I think this amount of time is too much for the outcome achieved.

Another idea is to scrap the narrative and focus on the band performance entirely. It would make the video more coherent and easier to understand and view with no background knowledge to a story line required. It would also mean we wouldn't need Ellie, an extra, and so would be one less person to worry about when organised when to film/what to wear etc.

Again another possibility is a change of band members or perhaps even an extra member however at such late notice this may prove difficult so we will have to see what we can do in that respect. However if we do keep the existing band members we will have to seriously consider their enthusiasm and hopefully will be able to prompt them to giving a better performance!
