corrections
based on looking over the original draft of my music video it has become clear that in order to match the brief's fun-loving audience i need to add faster cuts and more fast paced activities. to this i will crop down some of the 'football' scenes as the house as they appear rather slow compared to what i aimed for and replace some of them with the girls applying face paint and also them having a water fight (this idea may differ slightly due to unpredictable weather conditions during re-filming how ever it will portray the same amount of energy overall). i will also reshoot the establishing shot due to an issue with the camera focusing incorrectly. in addition i will refilm some of the lip syncing while the rest of the friends have things like party poppers and shooting them at the main artist and they are laughing while singing to portray a more fun time.
Production diary
After submitting the drafts for both my music video and website it had been concluded that the video was not fast paced enough to fit the brief of a fun loving audience, in order to fix this there is exclusively more lip syncing from my artist which allows for previous footage to be cropped down to allow for a faster flowing video. The shots in which lasted around 6 seconds (excluding lip syncing) have been cropped down due to them slowing down the overall pace of the video, this includes the car reversing off the drive heading to the field, as this shot in particular felt it slowed down the video, so has been cropped to a shorter 3 seconds. As well as this some scenes which when looking at the whole video appeared to not really fit in have been removed and this allows for a video that feels more like a stereotypical pop video. The establishing shot in which had a focus issue when panning down has been resolved by cropping it down the the shot start where it was blurry to allow for it

Locations and props
The locations i have selected are; my house, and Broughton Astley’s public footpath near speedwell drive. These locations have been selected as they create a clear contrast of scenery to avoid confusion in the plot of my music video, and also as they represent real life places in which friends will meet up within my target audience to appeal to my key theme of making the music video relatable for the target demographic. Props: Clothing will be bright and ‘summery’ in order to allow for a more upbeat appearance to the video, as well as this for filming the following will be used; tripod for filming, xbox console and controllers, bbq and food to go along side, outdoor furniture, firepit, car. The firepit becomes a hazard so to be able to use this a risk assessment has been conducted and while filming this scene both sand and water will be on hand in order to control the fire should it become more than can be handled while filming, as well as this cold water will be out of sho
