Idea change

Due to a number of external circumstances we were forced to change the idea of our video to meet our new needs. Despite this inconvenience we were able to take this and to create a better video throughout.
Where our original idea was to include a number of different people finding and having a rave, our new video (after re-listening to the song a number times) we decided that the best alternative theme to the song would to be to make the video much more abstract. As the song that we are creating a video for is already a re-mix we decided that this was another good reason to carry on with our new abstract idea.

Our new video, still filmed at my house, is now a lot more to do with the song itself “heartbeat” and the lyrics all to do with a heart being broken we have tried to include a sort of story line to our video where our actor gets a call and how he deals with the ‘heartbreak’.

Set
Our set hasn’t changed from where we were originally going to film however the use of the environment has changed completely. at my house we were always going to include and use the extraordinary woodland that I have around my land, originally we were going to use the woods as a trail towards the party however we have now decided to use the strange environment to further compliment the abstract and that it’s a strange place to be.
Other than the woodlands we will create a trail through the woods and out towards a ‘den’ where our actor has a picture of his girlfriend and how he goes through different stages of emotion from being angry and sad at what has happened.
We will use the new environment and the lyrics and the beats of the song to our advantage as the video goes along as we can make the video look very strange however still understand what is going on.

Cast/Actors
This was one of our major problems with our first idea, this is due to the fact that during the time we are allocated to film there were a number of different academic deadlines that students (our friends – actors) could not afford to miss.
Our original idea was to dependant on others to participate in our video, especially as we needed roughly 12 people for our rave video.
However, in our newly refurbished video idea we only have the need of one actor that is very flexible in when he can film for us; this means that the filming is very easy to carry out.
