Reason for changing out music video style

With our research and planning you can see we had originally planned to have a narrative element to our video. This we have now decided to get rid of as it is not easily accomplishable with the equipment and terms of practicality. The filming and locations were not easily accessible and we did not want to end up with a product which was laughable. As well as this we believe that if we had attempted to include the narrative it would have resulted to a blurred or even inappropriate or offensive outcome. Our key story was to target the issue of bullying which is a key theme found in many HipHop music videos. However we are now decided to move forward and challenge this typical convention or expectation. Therefore, we decided to approach the video as entirely performance based.
We have also had to decide to abolish the idea of using the projector to apply extra colours and patterns. This would have worked well but it is not easily accomplishable and nor do we think it will fit with the song or genre. 
We are also in debate as to whether or not we should have a secondary voice however we are going to proceed with recording and wait for class feedback.

For example in our narrative structure we are hoping to reveal the reality of unhappy family life, the affects of bullying and the after affects of loss. Here we have come to the conclusion to use one character to express the emotions and realities behind these situations. Therefore we have defined the roll of our character as someone who will exploit the realities of emotional ordeals. Tzvetan Todorov was a literary theorist who suggested that at the main protagonist of a story always starts with a state of equilibrium (where life is normal and happy). The state of normality is then disrupted from an outside force and an event of resolution occurs to reinstate the equi...
