Day 2

Day 2 went a lot better as I had carefully planned all the shots and angles that were required  of the storyline. Filming went quickly and smoothly as we shot the audition scene in which Alex sings waiting for auditionees for her new rock band but becomes disheartened when no one shows up. After filming we were certain that this music video was going to be amazing. For day 2, not only was I able to improve on my planning but also on my camera work. 


Day 1

The first day of filming went well. Although we were not completely sure on the direction we should go, we managed to find one once the camera started rolling! We could tell that this video was going to be a hit as Alex is very charismatic and perfectly suits the song and concept. The only problem we came across was that Alex did not completely know the lyrics but this problem was evaded once we fed them to her!


New star, new song!

As filming with Tariq did not go to plan we had to find a new star to feature in our music video. However, it was extremely hard to find a male candidate so unfortunately we had to change our song. However, the storyline would remain the same. This time we opted for a female song and found the perfect female lead. Alex! Alex graciously agreed to be in our music video and so we chose the song 'cool kids' by Echosmith. Although this is a signed song that we have not gained permission to use, the band encourages covers of their songs as they like to see their fans and it gives them publicity as they are a rather new group. 
Echosmith is an indie pop/rock band that was formed in 2009 and are best known for their song 'cool kids'.
