How we differed from the storyboard

Originally our storyboard included the use of playing cards, (as well as other games) we have now however decided to focus purely on the rubix cube game and how it has to be changed constantly. We decided that our main actress would resemble the rubix cube as she feels she is also a game constantly having to change to suit others (perhaps her boyfriend). However the main premise of our album is to break the silence and be who you want to be, so we therefore decided the best way to end the music video would be by throwing the cube to the floor and smashing the game (putting all those changes to an end). 

To begin with we wanted to film mainly in the drama studio and only a little in the theatre, but after facing multiple issues with lighting in the drama studio we decided we should film more often in the theatre. This however was a change for the greater, with amazing coloured spotlights in the theatre allowing us to resemble the colours of the rubix cube.
Additionally we found an interesting set within the theatre we were not previously aware of, a DJ booth at the top of the stands overlooking the stage. We filmed a few short clips of our artist, as our song has a strong beat and we believe the DJ-ing allows the visuals of our video to match them (whilst remaining within our genre)! 

We've opted to use less of the band performing and to focus mainly on the artist (perhaps because it singles her out as the main performer, but because it seemed incredibly boring just to use the band constantly - instead we've overlapped them onto over clips which seems more appealing to the eye.
