Scenes Not Used

During the filming of our music video, it was our intention to use most of the footage that we had taken. However, there was some footage/scenes that we chose not to use in the final cut of the music video. One of these scenes was the clip below. We chose not to include the scene in the final version of our video because after reviewing the scene (after it had been uploaded onto our editing station) we realised that the scene was not ideal to be included in the video as we felt that the white and black colour scheme/mise en scene in the scene did not complement the bright colour scheme/mise en scene (such as the varied colourful greenscreen-ed background scenes) in our video well.

Note: Please excuse the low picture and sound quality of the videos. This is due to the fact that we had to upload them in a lower format of quality (unlike the higher format of quality for the original files) because of technical difficulties (such as the blog having difficulty in uploading/accepting the videos in the high quality we initially intended to upload them in).



Another scene we chose not to include was the fridge magnet scene. Initially, this scene was suppose to be part of a series of other fridge magnet scenes which would have been shown in a somewhat quick secession of movement through stop-motion to create the effect that the fridge magnet letters in the scene(s)/series were moving on their own. However, due to technical difficulties (which were only discovered after the scenes were uploaded to our editing station) with the camera and the camerawork, we found out that the scenes had been recorded sideways meaning that the footage also came out sideways. Therefore, the footage was deemed unusable but we then re-took the scenes again (although we took them as photos rather than filming them) and they came out as we had hoped. Another justifiable reason as to why we did not include the series of fridge magnet scenes was also due to the fact that the fridge used to place the letters on, was reflective which caused unwanted reflections to appear in front of the fridge, therefore, ruining the mise en scene we intended to have. Below is an example of why we chose not to incorporate any of the fridge magnet scenes (before we re-took them) into our final edit of the video:
