After shooting this blocked plan and the first blocked plan, I realised that although there was enough footage in relation to time to create a 3-minute-long music video, there was not enough footage to provide the audience with a visually enhancing narrative. Due to this then, I decided to film some more footage and expand on the filming/narrative that had already been made to give our music video a better narrative that was more visually stimulating and interesting. The decision was then made to use Dilara more heavily and almost to convey her story which would ultimately be portrayed as a parallel to Dan's journey. In doing this, the audience can gain a better understanding of the two characters and therefore have the opportunity to empathise with them. Therefore this will allow the audience to potentially be emotionally stimulated as well as visually interested.
