Reflective Evaluation Question One

We took inspiration from the A-team video, which is the original version of our song.
In one of the shots from the a team video, the artist is seen interacting and as the only person to show kindness towards the girl, we tried to re create the interaction between the artist and the girl but in a different way, was our artists show a look of dissapointment in her as she walks past. However we think this was a subtle yet affective way of including our artists in the narrative whilst not confusing our audience.
We used the black and white affect in our video when the main drama of our narrative happened. We thought this was more affective than the A team version as during our research and planning we found that a lot of audiences found the black and white effect boring and that the video should not be in black and white all the way through. Therefore we decided to only add the black and white affect to the most dramatic parts of our music video, e.g. when the girl is getting beat up. This added much more drama and feeling to our music video whilst the bright contrasting colours during the beginning of the video kept the audiences attention.
The camera we used enabled us to go in and out of focus whilst filming, we tested a couple of these shots and thought it worked well, we also got this idea from the a team video, i think it gave the audience a chance to empaphise with the character, as the change in focus could show that the young girl is confused and vunerable, as if her whole life is a blur to her now.
