Amendments

Here is the selection of ideas we decided to ignore from our storyboard, or any footage that we decided to take out of our final video, and any ideas or footage that we decided to include in our video which was not in the storyboard.

Lego stop motion; we decided to leave this out of our final piece as it is difficult to relate to the music video, though it seemed a good concept at the time, we thought that the addition of the Lego footage would begin to over-complicate our video. The main reason for this is that it is not related to the song specifically and is not really an appropriate speed for the song as the chorus is the fastest part of the song, and these areas are already occupied by lip syncing and also the stop motion of the card board pieces.

Shots of the crowd; despite being good shots, and also in good rhythm to the beginning of the song, which is where we intended to have them originally, as a group we have decided that the slow-tempo shots of the antagonists, where they are standing on their bridges were most appropriate regarding the rest of the video, as it is the slowest part of the video, and therefore makes it clearer that the sequence is speeding up as the song progresses.

Card board stop motion; although it has been mentioned earlier, it was not in our original storboard to include the cardboard stop motion, and we thought that this would fit in nicely with the chorus, as the other chorus has the lip syncing. Moreover with the card board, we decided to develop the ideas from the storyboard, which was initially going to be a person crying, for "tear", a person blowing a kiss, for "kiss, and so on, but we instead decided to go with the card board for clarity.

Finally, split-screen; this is an effect in editing that we first had in mind, and wanted to use it to compare and contrast the on-screen characters, but we instead went for other features that we thought were more appealing, and more thought provoking, so we have just kept to the straight forward, single-picture screen, as opposed with the picture-in-picture feature that we had considered right from the start.
