True Affection
Music Video and Holiday Mishap
Welcome to the post where I will focus on the importance and necessity of multiple plans: Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, and so on.
The Mission: Make a holiday/seasonal music video to be included in a holiday video medley to post on e-comm's youtube channel.
The Process: We had two weeks to plan, film, and edit this video and we had to use people in the school as actors to show diversity. Our Plan A was a New Year's Eve party with a depressed main character who eventually says "screw it" and joins in the festivities (set to the son The New Year by Parachute). But complications arose and we were unable to go through with our original plan. Problem was, we had a limited amount of time and we really needed to figure out what we're were going to do instead. In cases like these, I'm glad to have planned for failure. Plan A was out the window and Plan B was only halfway there, thus Plan B and a Half was born! Plan B and a Half (PBH) included the song from Plan B (True Affection by The Blow) as well as a new and improved concept to go along with it. Planning, planning, planning, and we were finally able to film the Monday and Tuesday before the due date. We encountered a slight problem though; seems we had forgotten that the whole point of the video was to make it "holiday-ish," a key element which we completely passed over until we were at the very end of filming. A quick adjustment to the ending by adding a wrapped present and it still didn't really turn out "holiday-ish," but we could at least kind of claim it was.
The Story: Basically our story goes like this: two people (Lucas and Meg) are in love, but because they're in different cliques, their worlds are keeping them apart. But they still figure out a way to be together.
