Song And Video Change

Unfortunately we encountered many problems and obstacles when trying to complete the filming for our original video. These problems included unavailability of locations to film within. The Bridge Cafe was to be a main location as previous classes had gotten permission to film there but after many students agreed previously and did not use the location he wanted to charge us. We also had stars who had issues being able to film, including one getting hit by a car. Eventually it became so problematic we decided to just change the video idea. As we were starting to run out of time before the deadline we felt a rock song would be easiest to create in our time constraint. We felt this as there are few costume and location changes in rock videos. Because we chose a pop punk band in Paramore, there is less focus on instruments as is common in many videos of the genre.

The song we have chosen is "All I Wanted" by Paramore, and again we chose this song due to it not having a video already. However the song doesn't have a video as it was only unreleased, rather than specially written for a film as our last song was. The lack of official video still means that there is no expectation to create a similar piece. 

The idea we've come up with to create a new video is to use the codes and conventions of sorrowful love songs and show a female character mourning the end of her relationship. We plan on having her in a garden that may have been a frequent spot for her and her former love. As we live in London we felt that having a short sequence filmed in Liverpool street station would be perfect as it is recognisable as a London station. We also plan on using an iconic red phone box to make full use of our surroundings.
