Monday 25th October
In our original storyboards (shots 22-25) we would fulfill our "guy gets the girl" concept with a twist by him winning her over with a space hopper, however this particular prop was not accessible to us so we had to think of an alternative to complete our concept.
We came up with the idea of using candles spelling out some of the lyrics as this would continue our theme of lyrics being incorporated into the music video. However we didn't have enough candles to spell words so we settled on a question mark which provokes the audience to engage more with what he could be asking, in turn thinking about the lyrics without actually reading them.
The idea we had was the guy would ring the doorbell at night and the girl would look open the door to find him waiting with a question mark displayed on the floor. We liked the idea of the light of the candles standing out against the darkness. However when we came to film this, it was raining outside and we couldn't think how we could compromise by making the scene inside, as it wouldn't make sense. We decided to re-film this scene another day when it was dryer outside, therefore leaving us with a more successful image.
Thursday 28th October
Today was alot more successful in terms of the weather and the overall mise-en-scene. The rain had subsided and we were able to get more effective light positioning. We decided these shots fit in well with our concept and will therefore replace shots 22-24, which will change on our final storyboard.
Last day of filming, Sunday 31st October
Today we managed to get all of our performance shots filmed for our music video. These shots will appear as an introduction to the music video and willl also be cut to back and forth in the chorus and between scenes.

Audience Feedback from Film Pitches
Click on the images to enlarge.
Positive feedback from our audience:
Even better if...
These words clouds were created using wordle.com
We recieved a huge amount of positive feedback from our target audience, which made us confident our ideas would be well recieved by other members of our target audience and would fit well with our chosen artists music. However, the ideas on how we could improve our production from our target audience were also very helpful, for example many mentioned colouristaion to help reflect the mood of the characters in our music video. One person suggested over exposing the final shots to emphasize that sunny, happy feeling. Another suggested a more diverse range of camera shots, and upon examining our draft storyboards we've seen that more diversity in this area would greatly benefit our music video.

Let's make this happen, girl you gonna show the world that something good can work and it can work for you. – General idea of the guy trying to make the girl happy
And you know that it will.
Let's get this started girl, we're moving up we're moving up It's been a lot to change but you will always get what you want.
Took a little time to make it a little better,
it's only going out, just one thing and another,

Let's get this started girl, we're moving up we're moving up but It’s been a lot to change but you will always get what you want
- Our interpretation of the song is that it's being sung in a motivational way towards a girl as she wants to make something of herself
- We are going to create a twist on this interpretation so a guy is trying to to motivate the girl to make something of herself with him.
Our ideas that match the lyrica are written in bold.
