We need to re-shoot the Cameron scene so we went back to Kaden's pub because it was too dark and some of the shots broke the
180 degree rule. We also used this opportunity to make the music video more
postmodern by adding blue lighting above Cameron which creates a layer of
simulation. This was because
lighting was a huge obstacle because the
lighting was obviously not the same as the first day when we started filming therefore adding
artificial lighting would fix that problem. Also it's a
convention in music videos when the singer appears to be in deep thought and looking stylish because its purpose is to attract attention to the artist. We also
re-shot the part where Cameron puts on his coat and the way that is cut together because previously, that part looked very out-of-place because of the difference in
lighting.
The
blue lighting is also an
intertextual reference to the official Foundbae music video by KYLE where in the same exact verse, there is blue lighting.
This re-shoot helped us to smooth out the edges of our music video, making it more clear and postmodern whilst also retaining some of the
conventions of a hip-hop rap music video.
