The main objective of the day was to re-film all of the interior scenes as Leyon had misplaced the memory card and lost all of our previous footage that we had filmed. This was A slight advantage as it meant that we could perfect all that we had filmed before knowing what went well and what didn't work well. This enabled us to add any new content that we believed would help develop the video and advance it overall.  As a group we agreed that the best option was to film all of the interior scenes.

We chose to film these scenes in the half term as it was very suitable as all of us were free. This day enabled us in having a full day of filming which was suitable as it gave us the freedom in taking our time in filming these scenes

After analysing our storyboard we prepared the equipment and planned out the day to make sure everything flows smoothly in order of making sure that this day isn’t very difficult in terms of how everything pans out. After that we began by filming the interior scenes which occur early on in the music video.

There was shot that we had created on the day which was not on our storyboard. We agree that this shot would enhance our video so we agreed on filming it and this improvisation proved to be very helpful as after looking back it was a shot that we all liked. The shot was a close-up of the pills on the floor after the protagonist had threw them on the floor in anger.

This shot cold connote two possible concepts dependent on the viewer’s perception. The first one that the protagonist is on medication and decided to reject the help which was being offered to him, this represents a sign of rebellion advising him on what is best for him. The second possible perception is that the protagonist is addicted to pills (similarly to Eminem was when writing the song ) and the throwing of the pills on to the ground represents the fact that he is trying to break the glutinous circle.

One setback was that the camera kept on dying out on us and this was very tough to deal with as our camera took a very long time to charge, so what we had to do was wait for it to charge for a few hours and then use it quickly afterwards in order of making sure that it does not die out on us again.
