Today we started to make the clips more fluid as they transitioned to the next.
There still is a big gap which needs to be filled so after the Christmas Holidays, Ellie and I will be trying to come up with ideas to solve this problem.
When editing, we have kept to the storyboard however there have been some changes such as in the start we have also included a guitar but we have also got rid of the bit with the ipod and the silver heart necklace idea (both was written in the treatment sheet).
I'm sure there will be many more changed to come but we will be keeping to the story and loosely to the original storyboard.

Editing 17/12/12
17/12/2012
Today we edited our Hainult footage, there was a lot to get through and there were some bits that we did want to use, so we cut and deleted the bits we didn't want.
Still there are bits that need to be filled, so we do need to go out and film some more to fill in the gaps, as well as use footage we already have e.g. writing lyrics, guitar miming etc.
After editing our Hainult footage, we looked at the start of the video and decided to turn the piano chord bits to black and white to add to the sombre mood.

Starting to Edit
13/12/12
Today we started to edit our footage, first we looked over the clips that we filmed and got rid of anything that was 'bad,' after doing so we started to put some of the clips into place using our storyboard as an brief idea of what the video should look like.
So far we have edited up to the first chorus in the song.
However looking through the footage we have noticed that we will need to go out and film a little bit more to fill in gaps, where needed.

Filming 12/12/12
Location: Dance studio, Robert Clack Leisure Centre
Today we filmed the dance studio part of our video, I filmed Ellie dancing and singing to the first 40-50 seconds of the song. I filmed many shots so when it comes to the editing process we would have a variety of footage to use.

Filming: Hainault Forest 11/12/12
Location: Hainault Forest, Greater London
Today we filmed at Hainult, it was really cold and misty, and it unfortunately started to get dark early so we did some of the filming but not the amount we wanted to. I filmed Ellie walking around, and various shots of her singing.
Because we didn't get enough filming, that we wanted today, Ellie suggested that we use a local park near where we live called Central Park to shoot the rest of the woodland bits. So we should be doing that hopefully either tomorrow or sometime this week.
Tomorrow we will be filming the dance studio bit, so looking forward to that as it allows us to express ourselves artistically.

Due to the weather conditions we've put the Hainault filming back a few days to a day where so enough natural light and drier and more visible.
Tuesday 4 December 2012
Preparing for filming tomorrow
I used BBC Weather and searched: Hainault, Greater London.
The weather looks not bad, considering the time of the year, as it is going to be slightly sunny and no rain. So far it's all good to go.
For tomorrow we are going to use the card props again for diversity in shots; but tomorrow we will be mainly be filming the forest/woodland side of the video which counts for a large amount of the video.
We will try and use different spots/locations within Hainult tomorrow, and we will be working rather quickly as it quite cold and so we make the most of the natural light, so we will be filming early daytime around eleven/twelve 'o' clock.
Filming 04/12/12
Today we filmed some more shots, this time we filmed the piano chords part which we are going to use at the start.
Ellie filmed me playing some chords on the keyboard, I play the piano so I tried to make it look realistic. We filmed at many different angles and at different heights e.g. close-ups, crane shots.
After doing this, we spread the cards which we used yeasterday when we filmed, and spread them on the floor and filmed. One of the shots was we had the cards, in the order they appear, in a line on the floor and I hand held the camera (trying to keep a steady shot) and went along the line of cards.
We also did a bit where Ellie filmed me writing the lyrics, drawing a heart on a back of one of the cards and writing on manuscript paper.

Contingency Plan
Contingency Plan
Name: Jessica Pye
Production: "Paper People" by Charly Houston Music Video
Potential problems and how to overcome these problems:
Weather Conditions: If there are poor weather conditions such as ice, snow or misty weather it will be hard to capture clear footage, as well as it could be quite dangerous working in them conditions. To overcome this I will have to leave filming and keep a close eye on weather reports and updates to see when would be the best time to film.
Filming at Hainault Forest: There are many problems we could encounter when planning to film at Hainault such as: the weather, the visibility (which effects the quality of the shots) and transportation. To overcome these problems we should go and film on a day when the weather is okay to film in as well as to capture the desired shots. Hainault Forest is also quite a long way from where we live, so we would have to get all the shots that we need on the day because we might not be able to go back there.
Availability of the Dance Studio: The dance studio is always busy, so we will have to book a time very soon, and on the day we will have to get a lot of dance footage done as we will probably not get another chance to film there.

Proposal How to Expand/Increase Sales
Looking at our target research, and taking into consideration the age-group our target audience are, the music video needs to be entertaining as well as tell a story.
Sometimes with sombre/acoustic music videos the story can overpower the song and maybe discourage people to buy the song, it can have an effect on the artist too as they could be labelled to only do ballad-like songs.
With the acoustic genre it is very easy to get caught up in the story that the lyrics are telling, however as Jamie Thraves says 'never be too literal with the lyrics.'
To increase sales, and allure our secondary audience, we are going to make the video fun and try to capture a youthful-vibe which should hopefully attract our target audience. People watch music videos because they want to be entertained and they want something visually captivating therefore we need to be creative and come up with some original ideas.
