Re-shooting

  

We decided to re-shoot the opening scene of our music video as we had a few faults that could not be edited through available software, for example we where unsure of what to do with the dialogue, it was not clear or adequate enough to be used, and if we decided to add dialogue in a voice-over, it may have looked amateur. Also, another major problem was the cake throw; the size of the cake was far too small and the aftermath of the throw wasn't shown. In the re-shoot we bought a bigger cake and three of the same so we could re-shoot from different angles to create a dynamic shot.                                                                                                                                                                                

                                                                       

We also wanted to build suspense and mystery of the   characters at the beginning of the sequence, so in the re-shoot we filmed below the face for a matter of seconds. Furthermore, we also replaced the previous newspaper with a 'Business' paper as it mimicked the  male characters 'formal' and 'important' demographic.We decided to incorporate a crossword  as a basis for the characters to communicate, however  there was not a crossword within the newspaper so we had to lightly cellotape one inn.

A problem we faced was that the newspaper we got it from was much smaller then the broadsheet we where now using so it looked unrealistic. A resolution to this was placing it on the right side of the paper so there would be no shadows when  shooting and it made it possible for him to fold the newspaper on the table. Another problem we faced  was that when we filmed all the cake throwing we assumed that we had done enough, so decided as a treat to ourselves and our helper we would share half of the last cake, however we had realised that we  forgot a shot and hate to somehow fix a broken cake;  but with lots of icing mix left we managed to retrieve it.
