There are many things that could've gone better when filming my music video, however there are some specific things that went wrong and I had to work around.
Number 1: my camera's battery running out
This was obviously bad as not having an up and running camera meant that there was nothing I could film with that would provide good quality footage for my music video, which was important as the better the quality, the more professional it looks which again is important as I want my target audience to take my artist seriously and believe that she is a real artist.
Number 2: the memory card on my camera
Obviously I had many technical difficulties with my camera, and not having a large enough capacity on my memory card meant that I ran out of memory quick, meaning I had to stop filming after a few shots which meant that it took more time to film, giving me less time to edit.
Number 3: the weather
The first thought that came to mind when I started planning my video was that the weather should be dull and cloudy. However every time I started to film in weather like that the lighting was no good and it made my video look slightly boring. I then decided I would try to film with the sun out as I realised the black and white will die the brightness down, which then gave the effect of the sun shining on my camera and I thought it looked good.
Number 4: makeup
The makeup wasn't how I imagined it would be as my actress had a skin tone that I felt would not suit really really dark makeup as she might have ended up looking more heavy metal, rather than pop-punk. However saying that, I think the clothing combined with the makeup in the overall look I chose made her look pop-punk as they balanced out each other as she mainly wore black clothing, and just had a little bit of dark make up on.
Overall there where some things that went wrong, but this meant that I just had to use my initiative and work around the problems it caused which shows how planning doesn't always work out and how testing different things out is more effective.
