One of the band members has just informed us that he now has a full time job, working from Monday to Friday. This has meant we face problems in the scheduling of our video. We were planning on shooting it on either Thursdays or Fridays during the day, when George, Elliot and I are all at school. We have therefore had to explore other options, and decided that we are now going to shoot the live shots of the band (which can be seen on the storyboard) at Sandgate Hall, where the band practice, as opposed to the school stage.
This has not only caused difficulties with the location, but also the dynamics of our video. We planned on having each of the band members 'activating' a whiteboard in the video at various points in the video, but as Matt will now be unavailable due to work constraits, I will be featuring in the video. Rather than having all but one of the band members (everyone except Matt) 'activating' a whiteboard, I will assume the roles of all of the band members in relation to the whiteboard, but the band members will all still do something unique to them in the process of getting the whiteboard to animate. For example, before we planned on Matt throwing his drumstick at the camera, and then cutting to a room with a whiteboard, where Matt would then catch the stick and spark animation on the whiteboard by hitting it with the drumstick. He will now still throw the drumstick (this can be filmed at Sandgate Hall during the live shots), but I will catch it instead.
EDIT: We have again decided to alter the dynamics of the video, going back to a very similar model to the original idea. I will no longer feature in the video; we have decided that we do not need someone in the following shots to catch the prop that 'activates' the animation - rather, it will land on a white background (A1 sheet of card) and in landing on the card it will act as a catalyst for the animation.
