We had a bench where our female lead sat on to browse through her phone to select her 'ideal man', she would click 'like' and the man would appear next to her. I think this is a neat little postmodern element bringing some simulation into the music video. We mainly used close-ups and wide shots in this scene to give the audience a clear view of what is happening. Sid's (our female lead) bag gets stolen during the date by a thief, the 'ideal man' chases after him however when he returns, it is revealed that the whole thing was a prank and was set up by the man and the thief. Sid then 'unlikes' the 'ideal man' on her phone and both the man and the thief disappear. In my opinion, the way it was shot was rather cheesy however I think this is very postmodern as it is bringing intertextual references and rather parodic of prank videos that are on Youtube. There is meant to be a comedic tone to this scene therefore not to be taken seriously.
Furthermore we managed to take some shots for the digipak inserts of our CD. We also edited it to create a simplistic yet stylistic approach to the inserts. Inserts are typically simple and something extra for consumers to look at because the main priority is the front cover and the back cover. This is the same picture that the girl sees in the music video so this insert creates a link between the product and the music video which is what consumers want. The mask is an intetextual reference to a Japanese anime series called Naruto. The character is also very comedic so it makes sense to include it and would attract a wider audience.
