Whilst editing and creating my final video I have been struggling to put across and think of a storyline that would work with the shoots I had for the video. I also discovered I had to re-shoot my model for singing scenes to add throughout the video to fit it all together. However my model is currently struggling to find any free time in between her new job that would fit with my timetable.
So I have decided to make a new video and shoot with new models. I have chosen 'Meet Me Halfway' by Black Eyed Peas; as I can still use all my scenery and travelling shots I had from when I went on Holiday and filmed. This will work because I can show my two new models; Jamie and Tayla, travelling towards each other from different places to 'meet halfway'.
I feel by re-filming and starting a new video, I will able to show more of my talents and skills towards editing and creating a video, and this will help me create a better video. As with the last video it wasn't showing my true potential in creating videos.

Change of Mind
After getting more audience feedback, I have decided to change the song to the original version by Disclosure. After letting a few people watch my video, and after getting their feedback I have decided to re-shoot some parts of my video.
I will be using all the scenic shots in the verses, and in the chorus I will be having Georgia lip syncing the chorus. I will use different shots of Georgia singing, to create a variation of images. I will film Georgia from different angles and styles to create a variation; I will use mid-shot, close-up, long shot, low angle, high angle, etc.
I will either be shooting Georgia in front of a plain white background, a coloured background; a light yellow or orange colour. I'm also think of shooting Georgia in front of a white black ground to later on create a green screen affect, by putting the shots of Georgia on holiday and all the scenic shots behind her. This will create an affect of representing the holiday as a past event, so she's thinking about it.

Third Draft of Alevel Music
This is my third draft of my music video, I still haven't completed the video, as I feel the storyline isn't coming across, so I need to consider my options of how to betray my storyline better.
Amelia; Likes the song choice, she also likes how the song
works with the fireworks, so when the beat goes off, so does the firework. She
also likes the storyline, she feels that the storyline was about a girl that
goes on holiday and about her life; she also feels like it’s about a
relationship but you never see the boyfriend. She likes how I have added the
fireworks more than once.
Sarah; Sarah feels both the pool scenes are too long, and that they need to be cut down. Some shots need to edited in terms of colour and picture, but otherwise she thinks its really good.
Becca; Becca likes the song, she also likes the fact that it actually filmed abroad, and that there numerous different locations. She also likes how it shows her journey. She feels its a disjunctive narrative. She likes how I have added the fireworks into the same beat in the song. She feels that if i had gotten shots on the plan it would've made more sense. Becca feels like i need to add more editing techniques. She likes the fact that I've choosen a song that is a remix, so its not well known popular song.
Abbie; Abbie likes the locations of the videos, and how its different in most shots. She also feels the lip syncing was really good, and stayed in time to the music. She feels that Georgia could've acted better, and looked less grumpy during some of the shots. Abbie doesn;t understand the storyline, which is a good point, because at the moment its a disjunctive narrative video. Abbie also feels that the fireworks shots are too long.

Current Draft of Music Video
This is the current draft of my music video. I have enlarged the sceen, so there isn't a black outter ring. I have also taken out the shot of Georgia talking to the camera, as it didn't work with the music.

Change of Mind
I have started to edit my music video and have watched all the footage I have taken so far, and I feel like it doesn't truly match the storyline I was planning to use for the song. So I have decided to change the storyline again too Georgia going on a travelling holiday, seeing as much as possible so she can discover her true self. By doing this I will be able to use all the footage I have taken so far, and I feel it will fit the footage and song more. Even though the lyrics are 'You and Me' throughout the song I think this will create a sense of her trying to find her soul mate, and by finding her soul mate she will discover herself.
Audience Feedback
I have asked several people to watch the video I have produced so far, and give me their honest opinions of how I could improve, what they like and what they dislike.
Susan -
Susan feels there are some fantastic shots so far throughout the music video. However she feels there is no storyline, and she doesn't understand where the storyline is going and how its going to end. Susan feels the scene where Georgia is talking into the camera doesn't work as she can't hear what shes saying and also that the scene of Georgia in the pool doesn't work, as the camera isnt stable enough. Susan also thinks for the chorus I should add a shot of Georgia addressing the camera singing the lyrics; she thinks that Georgia should be dressed up like she would be going out for the night. Susan also feels that I should reverse shot in the mirror for this scene, with a midshot closing up into her face landing on her mouth.
Tayla -
Tayla thought that the landscape shots were really good. There are some good transitions into different scenes, but she doesn't understand the storyline and Tayla feels that the video jumps from different scenes. Also one scene goes from night sky and fireworks, to daylight which doesn't contrast well. Apart from that she thinks its really good and well done so far.
Lily-
She likes the way it doesn't jump cuts, its solid throughout the video. Lily also likes how I filmed it abroad in America, rather than a typical video in England. She also likes how the fireworks and the beats work with the song; she also likes the shot where I'm filming Georgia biking, but I'm also biking behind her so it's following her.
This is the draft that everyone has watched and given me their feedback on.

Filming Update
Filming over the summer went well, I got a large amount of footage. I feel I have too much as I don't know where to start. So I am going to have to start again with the storyline, watch all the footage I took and think again about how to start and set out my video.
Over the summer, whilst I was on holiday I was filming the footage I have. I was planning to film in Graceland, however once I got there I was told I wasn't allowed to film. Which was really disapointing, so I only got a few shots of the sign post.
