In order to see whether our two vital elements of dancing and slow-paced badass shots of our actresses would work well together, as well as suit the song, I created a quick edit comprised up of the dance video I made earlier, MØ's Walk This Way (which has been such an inspiration to our idea) and Azealia Bank's The Big Big Beat.
From making this and studying it closely, we have discovered that the fast dancing and slow stares jar together, but work well independently - meaning one of the elements has to be changed. Coincidently, due to unfortunate circumstances, one of our dancers has had to drop out, and so we have decided to cut the entire dance element from our song.
We also discovered that the bitchy stares were effective, but only for a certain amount of time. The video I made suffered due to a lack of lip-syncing, considering our entire idea is first and foremost a performance music video, and thus must be taken with a pinch of salt - however, it did successfully reminded us that you can only exhaust the slow-paced bitchy stares for so long before they become boring. Watching the video for Walk This Way yet again, we made a list of all the things the girls are doing in it and realised that further development of the music video must address as to what our girls will be doing. Equally, as the song we have chosen to use is quite slow, we have decided that whatever action our camera points at must be quick (as otherwise the music video is very flat), or else change songs - which none of us want to do.
Moving forward, as a group we are going to discuss possible additional elements to replace the now cut dancers, as well as activities the girls could be doing within the abandoned house. Given the two possible locations we have for such a setting, we have also decided to completely scrap the studio idea that we had been toying with previously.
