Changes Made

Here are the various changes we've made during the shooting:


  •  Made alterations to the schedule list, including added days and more filming to fit in the schedule  before the deadline.
  • The equipment book with additional dates for using it.
  •  The first initial actors were both changed to two other people who we re-shot their scenes to include them in.
  • A real hospital gown was unavailable at the time of shooting, so we instead changed it to a white jacket, which could still have an advantage as we could imply that the actor's character is almost insane due to certain negative factors of his life.
  • We changed a few angles and camera shots for a few scenes involving the band performing in the woods, as establishing shots would reveal the borders of the green screen.
  • There was considerate change in costume, as we no longer had the intended clothing at the beginning. They were changed to more informal clothing such as a bright orange football shirt and green trainers.
  • We had to replace Ryan Hayden's role of the man with Leon Asgari taking his place.
  • We didn't include the shot of Leon walking through the hospital corridor where we see the signs reading 'Sadness, Devotion and Dancer' because it was intended to be done in the actual hospital, but we would have needed to create our own signs. So, if there is time during the re-shooting stage, we could attempt to include it.
  • We changed the beginning location of the woman's narrative after learning of Chelsey Willis' departure from the project. So after Nicole Denman agreed to replace her, we instead filmed her introduction in a consult room, where we could turn all of the lights off to give a darker tone.
  • Josh Hobson replaced Joe Clark's position as a band member, as well as Connor Faulkner replacing Dan Howley as another band member.
  • Some instruments were replaced with ones that were lighter in weight, but still resembling the intended instrument. We also excluded the microphone as we wanted just close-ups of the singer performing, as the more established and side shots with the microphone would reveal the borders of the green screen.
  • We had the band perform on the school field in front of a single tree to give a simple look to the video.
  • The band placed the instruments in the tree after finishing, which we used for the video.
  • We filmed Nicole in an extra scene in a play park to give her miserable character a colourful perspective, intended to imply the play park as her transition from 'Human' to 'Dancer.'
