Planning the Video

One of the hardest problems we had when planning our video was deciding the band and who we could get to be in the band. This was such a problem that when we came to film someone dropped out of being in the band so Sung-min took her spot and back up guitarist. Eventually the band was Me, Hannah and Sung-min. This worked out well but it took long time to get to this point. We wanted a drummer in the band but because none of us had a drum and we couldn't take the drums out of school the idea was dropped. We wanted to film in the drama hut and use different filters but after testing in the drama hut we realised that the filters didn't worked in a dark room with a black background. But the worst part was deciding between having a narrative or just a full performance pop promo. In the end we decided that ahving a narrative will help to fill in some parts of the song, and one main reason for having the narrative was that only one person in the band could play the instrument properly and i believe that to have a great performance pop promo the band must be able to play their instruments well, because the whole idea of a performance based video is to show off the skills of the band.
