Changing the end of the video.

 On Friday the 13th of December we attempted to start our filming for our music video. However I felt like it was a complete catastrophe. Most of our extras didn't show up for the crowd, two band members dropped out on the day so we had to quickly find replacements, The girl character had to be changed about 4 times because they kept dropping out. When we finally found a replacement, she didn't show up anyway. We had previously asked for a drum kit, however we only got parts of it as the teacher we asked got in a stress and said she wouldn't help any more. The lighting was very bad, it was to under exposed and you could hardly make out the band members faces. Also to top it off, the band members didn't know there lines so they kept messing up and it just looked like they was miming and messing about.

We have decided to change the end scene of the concert because we are having trouble getting extras to make up the big crowed. We have decided to change to the band singing, but without the crowed. It will look like they are just rehearsing, then the couples from the previous scenes will walk passed and it will look as if the band has caught there attention. Also, We will need to change the lighting from multicoloured to just white because otherwise the colours mess with the quality of the video.
