Filming update!

We have now begun our filming and it is going very well. We started filming last week with our actress Lucy Harman who played her part very well. The weather was good as we were worried that we could have rain as that would delay filming as we have outdoor scenes. I did all her hair and makeup and dressed her in darker clothing to reflect the mood of the song. We have still have more filming to do which we will be doing this up coming week. We are hoping to have all the filming done by friday but we might do a bit more on saturday as the actors were not free on the days that we originally wanted to do the filming in order to meet the deadline.

Rihanna - Russian Roulette

This video has a similar story of ours as the female character moans for the wounds her boyfriend gave her. The setting and mise-en-scene represents the female character extremely vulnerable as her wearing less clothes suggests her less control over her life. The acting is the second best as it shows how scared she gets every time when she have to face him. But as the scene is developed she becomes more powerful and courageous as she demands there will no more threats and beatings. The female character in video suffers the same way as our female character- the constant panic shows she can still feel him in her nerves.

PINK - Perfect

This Video has a similar story of ours as being abused shows the main character's loneliness and obsessed of being angry. The main character is shown vulnerable and fragile like the character from our music video. Her obsessed of being angry shows the same kind of frustration of our female character. Our female character is being abusive because she is obsessed with her boyfriend and accepts him with his aggressive behaviour whereas in this video the female character is abused because she has a problem with her attitude and is less confident of what she is doing. The similar with both female characters is they both understands life is hard and cruel without love. The differences is the female character accepts her life as she believes nobody is perfect whereas our female character accepts her life as she believes without love nothing is perfect.
