The obstacles we were confronted with in the course

While creating our music video like everyone we too were faced with obstacles and challenged to face in order for us to achieve our final product. These challenges and obstacles had to be faced and we either fixed the issue or we worked our way around them in order to get our final product.

One of the issues we had was the equipment we were provided with. Some of the facilities such as cameras and tripods were being used by other students and therefore to resolve this issue, I decided that I will use my camera and tripod to film our music video. The School camera were also appearing to be very shaky and therefore my Canon camera I had had auto-stabilsation which improved the video shakiness.

The other issue was the costume. The costume our artist Jacob was wearing was suiting more of a Grime genre and therefore to resolve this issue we had to rethink the costume and make it look more Hip Hop as Jacob was wearing Grime style clothing.

We also had the issue of lack of actors for the gang scene. We had to resolve this issue by replacing that whole scene into a night scene with the artist just on his own.

The narrative of the video was very unclear and the audience we showed it to didn't understand it. The artist was meant to show his life before and after. Before the artist was involved in gang life but now he tried to run away from that life and have money and fortune with his new hit song. To resolve this narrative issue we cut some scenes out and changed the narrative slightly into the artist showing his fame and fortune yet he still cannot get the girl he loves.
