My idea was to use the song 'Who Am I by Starboy Nathan' and the storyline was going to be about someone who was by themselves, then they joined a gang and in the end, they realised that instead of hurting people, they could help people with their lives.
I didn't really like my idea in the end and I was very confident to use my idea, as I think it could of been a bit better. So we got into groups of our choice. I worked with Gloria.
She told me her idea and it was about a sad or abused girl who is very paranoid, but in the end she sees an opportunity to become what she's always wanted to be. I thought Gloria's idea was really good and I was more confident to use her idea for our music video, so that's what we done.
The song choice for our music video was now 'Diamonds by Rihanna'. We started planning and organising where the locations were going to be and all the props and equipment we that we needed.
The song 'Diamonds by Rihanna' is about a relationship, saying that together, they are like diamonds. However, our music video is about a sad emotional girl. We didn't want our music video to be about a typical relationship, so using a different storyline was good and could be more effective.
In the video 'Diamonds by Rihanna', we see her running away, a few times, outside, so when playing the role of the sad girl, me and Gloria thought it would be a good idea for me to run away in some parts of the music video and relate it to the sad girl running away from her past. I also done some research on the music video 'Beautiful by Christina Aguilera'. This music video comes across as sad, so we wanted to make our music video seem a bit sad and emotional.
We also made sure that we had the name of the song at the end of our video to make sure that we wasn't doing any copyright.
I played the role of the sad girl in our music video, then Gloria started filming. The main problem we had was that the quality of the filming was good on the camera, but once I imported it onto the computer, the quality of the filming was very blurry, so we had to keep filming it over and over again. This took some time and it was getting quite frustrating, but we realised that it was just out of focus.

Once all the filming was complete, I was in charge of editing, so I imported the video clips onto the computer and started to edit everything on 'Final Cut Pro'. Editing the video was quite straight forward, but as the deadline for completing all our work was getting nearer, I wasn't able to edit certain parts that we wanted to.
Overall, I think our music video was alright, seen as though we tried our best and I think the storyline was good and is quite clear to understand what's going on in the music video.
However, our music is amateur because of the quality and some editing parts.
