Individual Response to the Idea

At first, myself and my group had chosen Sarah Blasko for our artist and we worked into creating the music video for her song 'We Wont Run'. During the process of our filming, my group did not feel 100% happy with what we were creating. Personally, I felt that we had good ideas which we could have developed on further, however, the group were not confident and felt that we did not have a solid enough idea in general. The outcome of this was to change the song which I felt that we are taking a big risk as this was suggested 3 weeks before the deadline which had also worried our teachers.
The idea for the music video for the song 'Moon by moon' by Bat for Lashes is that a young girl is waiting for her boyfriend or friend (this is left ambiguous) and when he does finally return they have a wonderful time. But at the end of the music video he abruptly leaves leaving her alone again. This narrative is supposed to cover the topic of gender roles and relationships, how a young girl waits on a boy while he can wonder in and out whenever he feels fit. From a different perspective this also looks at isolation and feeling alone. 
I still believe that we should have carried on with the original song, however, learning from our mistakes will hopefully help us pursue our music video forward :)
