Difficulties when planning- mini production

When we had to choose a song, we had 2 songs that we wanted to do, however other groups pitched their ideas better than us. Therefore we had to resort with Tom Waits - Looking for the heart on Saturday night. Because of the tempo of the song (very slow!) and the fact that singing didn't come into the song until halfway through the clip, we struggled to find ways to do lip syncing to fit in with the rest of our clips.

We were also originally going to use a car, as there is car noises in the song, such as a horn beeping. However after speaking to Mike and Nanette they told us we were not allowed to use it, even if the driver was a qualified driver. Therefore we had to come up with new ideas to get around this, so we decided to do filming inside the car and do shots such as lip syncing into the rear view mirror. However, we had decided to do all the car filming at the start of the video, but because of difficulty of song we couldn't do lip syncing at the start of the song as there were no lyrics and had to edit.

There were also issues such as people being absent, almost every lesson there would be one person absent, making it difficult to plan because our ideas kept changing, however one member of our group left last week, and since then we have had a full group.
