Changing the song for my Music Video (2)

It's been a ride finding the perfect song! Before I'm judged for being too confused, I would like to express my opinion on this process of experimenting. I've tried to plan a music video for two songs now. I created storylines for a serious/inspirational song as well as a happy/enthusiastic song. Both seem too plain to me as both are saturated with a single theme.

A few days ago I came across a song that I was previously familiar with only because its starting was used in a meme. After listening to its complete version, so many ideas sprang to my mind. The song that had removed my "writer's block" was definitely the perfect song I was searching for.

This song is non-other than 'TAKE ON ME' by A-HA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914). The fact that it has been associated with a meme may be the reason why the song prompts a story with a comedic aspect in my brain. Side by side, the music video gives a tragic/romantic vibe.

 I hope I stick to this one!

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene.  Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way.  We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

Shooting (Day 1)

Yesterday I made a list in which I organized all the scenes to be filmed according to different days. Today and tomorrow's scenes mostly included the stabilizer shots so that I could be done with using the stabilizer and return it back to the school's media lab (because other groups would want to use it as well). The numbers written in the list are the same as the numbers I wrote with the scenes drawn in the rough storyboard. After today's shoot, I ticked the scenes that were successfully filmed so that I could complete the ones that were left tomorrow. Yesterday I also made a list of all the props and people required for today's shot and messaged my actors accordingly.  I had informed my actors to arrive at 8am. This was important since today's shots were taken in a public park and an area surrounded by restaurants and cafes where it gets crowded after 11am. I stabilized the stabilizer before the actors arrived. I filmed those shots first that re...
