Re-shoots

As mentioned from our audience feedback, we decided to reshoot the scenes where Kaden is singing in a brighter location. This way, we can also implement a wider range of shots such as close-ups, medium shots, wide shots, 'over-the-shoulder' shots which are all conventions of postmodern music videos such as Eminem - Not Afraid. You'll find that in some music videos, there isn't much variety in the camera shots. They remain relatively the same because the main focus is the artist and the song. Having low angles and high angles distract the audience and ruins the engagement between the video and the audience. The music video should be smooth and easy to follow therefore the camera should compliment that. However it could be argued that the artist's aims should be a higher priority than the audiences. With this intention, we also came up with the idea that Kaden should visit all the locations that Sid went on her dates. It adds some more interest and adds more screen time for the main singer which is a key convention in all music videos.
