Progress so far 20/11/15

So far we have done the majority of the music video to perfection however we have hit a little road bump , something that is of importance to the group's video. However I shall be reviewing what we have done so far before talking about what is left. 

We have completed the first part of the song, the verse done by Kwabz. This was done in my home a few months back. In this scene we see Kwabz drowning his sorrows in alcohol, looking at a picture of himself and Kevin from when they where younger. He begins to rap about how he this verse is for Kevin, how the doctor said he has a few weeks left, and how he is going to raise awareness for Kevin and how he is sorry he couldn't save Kevin. This scene was powerful because you could see the pain in Kwabz face, the anger he felt. With this scene, the lighting and scenery was perfect as well as the costume. He wore a housecoat, old T shirt and Jogging bottoms. His hair remained un cut and his beard was rough and rugged. This showed the fact he had lost all hope and faith in everything since losing Kevin. 

The 2nd scene was Kapone's scene done at the sky garden. This was shot a few weeks back. In this scene Kapone is seen looking out the glass over the huge shot of London. The grey sky matches his mood, as his verse reflects what he feels about Kevin. Some of the things he says include 'Family over everything, what i'm talking about Family is everything.' He was clearly upset, and missed Kevin a lot. In this scene Kapone is wearing a Nike Tracksuit and a New York Cap. 

We have also done the ending scene which was done at Alexandra Palace on the 17th of November. In this we got a lot done. We did an individual shot of Esther , walking along a path of White and Red roses while singing. She often looked up at the sky while singing. There was also a scene in which we were all together at the end for the final part. We stood in front of a fountain and the camera man took shots of us performing the final part from various different angeles. 

However there was a part we struggled with the chorus after the first verse. This was because we had planned to do a church scene. Unfortunately the churches we mostly contacted ignored our request and the only one that did openly offer us a place to use inside their charge, said they charged £55 per hour as a discount price. So instead we have used an older clip we took 17th in place of that one. This saved us time and while we were not able to have the scenery we originally wanted, we have managed to put something good there. Now we can fully begin to edit our music video with no more distractions.
