Blog 17 - Rejected footage

These are still shots of footage that we chose not to use in the video;

We chose not to use this footage as, although we wanted to create a 'blurred' reflection to resemble the drug making an effect, it was too blurry that it was hard to see her face and as we were filming her putting on make up in her reflection this was a big problem.

We didn't use this footage as we felt the lighting was too bright. This is because parties are known to be in the night time, therefore her getting ready in a bright room didn't make it clear she was getting ready for a party.

We didn't use this piece of footage as the actress started speaking too early before we finished filming the shot and also it is again too bright.

We didn't use this footage because we felt the actress was too close to the camera so you couldn't really get the full effect of what we wanted, you couldn't see her body language or anything which is what we wanted.

Its fairly obvious why we didn't use this footage, the dog ran into

the frame whilst we were filming, this meant we had to re-shoot this shot.

We didn't use this footage as it was too dark, although it represented a house party, it was too dark to establish what was happening in the shot.

This shot was again far too bright to be used in the video as it is very unclear and doesn't give the impression that she is at a house party.

For our music video, we wanted to use the effect of layering but this shot meant that it was difficult to do this as parts of her arm were cut out in the process, and this would ruin the effect. We decided it was much more effective to use 2 characters either end of the sofa than 3 characters on the sofa.
