The Original Video

This is the original video to the song 'wile out'. we genuinly believe that this is what is expected of a video like this, lot's of people dancing in a club whilst the performer is going through the crowd. This is an example of what would happen is the artists was to perform at a club or a concert. We wanted to cpmpletely change the whole idea of the song by bringing the video into colour. In other words, bringing it to life. We feel confident that our video will make people smile and make them feel good rather than something typical like someone performing the song the whole way through. We really want this video to brighten up people's day and show them that even people with huge problems still have the time to stop and smile.
Some people feel that because there are only two of us in the group that we should do aperformance song but we don't want to do what is expected, instead we want to do something different and something challenging to show that we can do big things even though we are just two girls. We have decided that we will get different people to say 'wile out' when that part of the song comes and get people from all over to do it so it shows how many different people in the community we have involved.

Random Locations.

As our video is spontaneous, the only locations that we knew we were going to use was a house, we decided this as our rough sketch of what we were going to do planned that to make our idea clearer to the audience we would show her getting "ready to wile out" first to show the beggining of her journey. Other than that, the location of people and where we went was really up to where we randomly saw people as it is the people that make the video and we wanted to keep it as authentic as possible. And so we have decided to upload location shots afterwards as that would make more sense. We have used locations such as the bike path, the trainstation, and a flat to do performance bits but apart from that the locations have been random. This is a positive thing as we have many different places because we went to many different shops to find people to say 'wile out' but they were spontaneous on the day. One thing that suprised us is that because we are both girls, people assumed that we were just messing around with a video camera and not being serious about it, and this was insulting as when we got one of our male friends to go and film someone, they took it seriously and did it straight away. However, this did not stop us, this just made us more determined to find people that will appreciate the fact that we want them in our video of all people, and that is exactly what we did. We believe that our video is very original as we do not think anyone else has thought about doing something like this, and the fact that it is either going to be fantastic or terrible makes us want to do it more as we think that it is good to have a challenge and take filming to the next level. We want this video to show the effort we have gone through and show that a video doesnt have to be polished and perfect, but instead, can be natural and unrehearsed as there is nothing better than natural images.

Big Girls Don't Cry.

As there are only two of us in the group, the pressure is on. The idea for the video was much easier than putting it into action. We went out filming to go and find as many random people as we could to say 'wile out' on camera as a sort of performance, however it proved more difficult than we anticipated as people either were not interested in the concept at all and did not want to stop or did not want to help after we told them our idea as they are too intimidated by the fact that you have a camera. We went out for many days and about 1 in every 50 people that we asked would stop and actually allow us to record them. The actual filming of people saying 'wile out' took no longer than 10 seconds, but they were so hung up about being on camera that a lot of the people i asked were slightly rude. I now understand why being a door to door sales person, working in a call centre or selling a big issue is so hard because this experience has taught me that the majority of people do not want to help if they do not get anything for it. All of the rejection from people and the rudeness and insults resulted in a small break down of tears, but there is always a positive that comes out of a negative. We happend to pass a man selling the big issue and gave him some money completely forgetting about the video. He asked about the camera i was holding in my hand and asked if he could do something on film! How lucky? And so we got him to do a 'wile out' and after that, things began to get easier and our confidence had increased again. So i guess you could say we broke down, but after that, we broke through and was back on track to film. We then started looking for more eccentric from a range of all different parts of manchesters society, we approached people such as tattoo artists and managed to find a range of different people all willing to do the video without a fuss.We managed to get people working in take aways along with people working in markets and passer by's.

Nobody can watch this video without smiling. This is because we love to see other people happy especially when we least expect it. This is an example of the type of feeling we want to create through our video. We love the spontainaity and how genuine the reactions of the people are, which all adds to the buzz of the video and situation.
