Getting started..

So I have now reached the point where I am going to start making the video. I haven't always bee all that on planning but I will begin by asking a friend of mine called Tauhida if she would be willing to star in my music video for me, I will also ask Alex Trufanov who is another friend of mine if he wouldn't mind being the male character in the video. Tauhida said yes straight away but Alex needed a bit of persuading about the character that he was about to adopt. I overcame this obstacle by telling him that he's going to be the 'cool' guy which swayed his decision immediately.

We arranged a weekend when we were all free and heading into Ware town by taxi which I paid for since they were doing me a favour. We began shooting at the canal, this is when I realised the awkwardness that they had between each other because I failed to mention in the beginning that they are both my friends but they are not friends with each other and have hardly engaged with each other before so I tried to over come this by creating jokes and making the atmosphere less tense but evidently it didn't work.

We went onto shooting in the local pub where I had asked permission to film there beforehand. It was here where I again noticed that they didn't quite suit and I then felt that I felt this way then they will not be able to convince the audience that they are actually together which ruin the story of the music video. So I decided to call it a day and see whether when I edited it whether I could still use the footage.

As I was editing it was hard for me to believe that they were a couple and there was no 'chemistry' therefore this resulted in me scrapping the idea and starting again although this time I would another girl, preferably one that Alex knew so that he wouldn't feel as uncomfortable in front of the camera.

I asked Katie Hoban if she wouldn't mind helping and she said 'yes'. This also worked in my favour because Katie can drive meaning that we didn't have to rely on a taxi and we had more flexibility in terms of when we went and by being to keep things in the boot helped dramatically.
