Problems we faced

Budget:

When planning our music video an important aspect to consider was the cost. We originally decided on our budget to be around 20 pound, however, we soon realized that to get to the locations we needed, the budget would have to be increased to around 50 pound, the final cost of the production was as follows:

Transport: 20 pound
Theatre rental: 10 pound
Clown makeup: 5 pound
Costumes/outfits: 10 pound
Other expenses: 5 pound

We split the cost between 3 of us and it each paid around 16 pound.

Time:

Time was another factor which went against us, due to conflicting work hours, there was a limited amount of time available where we could all work, therefore we had to sacrifice some filming time to make way for other priorities. Also, as it is the winter months, we had to do all our filming before the lighting got too dark at around 5pm, this again put further restrictions on our available filming time.
These limitations meant we also had to change our original shotlist, we originally intended to have an animated sequence in the middle of the video, however as we had less time to edit as we needed more film time, we replaced this instead with the dancing sequence.
To combat this problem we would next time also plan our time needed and if it seemed unlikely we would have time, make our plan simpler

Weather:

The weather was also an issue, as to avoid disrupting the continuity editing we needed the same weather throughout, this was difficult as the weather proved unpredictable and we therefore couldn’t film on certain days.

Editing:

Editing was also an issue, some of the effects we planned to do proved difficult, and as each of us had limited editing experience we couldn’t achieve some of them, and therefore had to again modify the production plan.
