Revised Idea

In the final stages of planning Sunday's filming, we have realised that two of our scenes need to be re-drafted. The first in our street scene, and the second is our rave scene.

The street scene needs to be redrafted due to extras, we realised that we would need many extras to be out in the streets for our central protagonist to hand leaflets to, and these would also have to be the same extras at the rave scene, which has proven too difficult to organise.

Instead we have chosen to use a different method of showing our character advertising the rave, by instead using a texting scene. This is very appropriate to use due to the age of our cast and target audience, who will relate to this well.

The Rave scene has been re-drafted as we were worried that with the scene being set outdoor it is entirely dependent on weather. As we need to have filming done by the end of the week to meet our deadline, this doesn't allow for us to be able to re-organise the whole shoot. For this reason Beth came up with the following:

• BC - Instead of being outside, with having uncontrollable weather factors, issues with setting up in the light and waiting until dark to film, set up a generator for electricity, in a location that is quite hard to get to without a car; alternatively we can film in my house, in the basement room, which is a standard sized room, so can easily be filled with people, has electricity and easily controlled lighting, can be done any time and hopefully will be easy to get to for extras in our music video.

We now have two choices:

1. Abandoned Hospital. There is a near by abandoned hospital, which could be used for the outside setting, and then the basement which we film in, we make it look like the rave is in the abandoned hospital by cut away shots of the outside and a few people around it, but have the ease of being able to film in an environment we can control. Like the previous idea, the central protagonist will go from the house party he wakes up at, on a journey and ends up at this abandoned hospital.
2. Non-linear music video. Have the music video start with the morning after the house party, and as the central protagonist wakes up, he is dazed as to how he got there... Then the music video goes into how he got to that situation, which would be the street and car scenes as previously planned, and the ending will be the house party of which he woke up from. Ending on him crashing out on the bed his wakes up from at the beginning of the music video.

We decided that the non-linear video was the better option, and we filmed this scene on sunday night.
