Throughout our planning we have changed quite a few things, we changed alot of stuff to see what we could make better. For instance when it comes to the make up we only decided to do this last minuite. We thought this would be a good idea because it gave the video a 60's glam rock feel. Alhough we chose a quite psycadelic song we managed to mix it with a very modern theme. We also changed our minds a few times on the objects that we would choose. Origionally in the video I was going to wear a red cloak and a micky mouse mask in order to represent the industry being shrouded in lies like a massive cult.
We changed this because we wanted to focus more on the symbolism of the micky mouse mask and how the actual symbol itself is the representation of what is wrong with the industry, i then pull my mask away to reveal mascara smeared down my face in a crying fashion. We changed a few shots. Origionally the majority of the shots were extreme close ups only showing mouth and eyes, this was to show the intimacy between the singer and the audience.However this was also quite inpersonal due to the fact you were unable to see the full singers face. For this reason we showed a variety of shots with the singer clearly focusing on him while not making it too over the top. The simple white background that we chose takes away any busyness from the shot and helps focus on the singer. With the objects edited in between the performance shots we thought that this would allow the subject of the song to be apparent while also making the performer clear.
We also changed our idea of props. Origionally george was going to wear a hat however we thought that this would distract from the performer himself, Instead we used a bandanna and a pair of sun glasses.I was completely unsure about what to do with the makeup but in the end george gave me the idea to film the progression of him makeup starting of as simple and then finishing as quite vibrant and detailed. I added green eyeshaddow origionally to his eyes, then purple, then blue, then glitter, then diamonds. By the end of it he looked like he had a clear influence from glam rock which was popular around 1970's.
We were origionally going to take some shots outside but we felt in the end that the shots taken inside the set we made fit better with the theme of the song. this helped us stick to the type of music video we were going for and therefore didnt make us go off route. We havnt finished the other half of the song yet so therefor there may be further changes to what we want to do we may decidede we don't want some propps or want even more.
