We decided to re-shoot the opening scene of our music video
as we had a few faults that could not be edited through available software, for
example we were unsure of what to do with the dialogue, it was not clear or
adequate enough to be used, and if we decided to add dialogue in a voice-over,
it may have looked amateur. Also, another major problem was the cake throw; the
size of the cake was far too small and the aftermath of the throw wasn't shown. In the re-shoot we bought a bigger cake and three of the same so we could
re-shoot from different angles to create a dynamic shot. We
also wanted to build suspense and mystery of the characters at the beginning of
the sequence, so in the re-shoot we filmed below the face for a matter of seconds.
Furthermore, we also replaced the previous newspaper with a 'Business' paper as
it mimicked the male characters 'formal' and ‘important’ demographic. We
decided to incorporate a crossword as a basis for the characters to
communicate, however there was not a crossword within the newspaper so we had
to lightly cellotape one inn. A problem we faced was that the newspaper we got
it from was much smaller than the broadsheet we were now using so it looked
unrealistic. A resolution to this was placing it on the right side of the paper
so there would be no shadows when shooting and it made it possible for him to
fold the newspaper on the table. Another problem we faced was that when we
filmed all the cake throwing we assumed that we had done enough, so decided as
a treat to ourselves and our helper we would share half of the last cake,
however we had realised that we forgot a shot and hate to somehow fix a broken
cake; but with lots of icing mix left we managed to retrieve it.
